How do these kindergarten literacy centers differ from others?  These literacy centers offer a multitude of ways to practice letter identification and concepts of print.  Each set will offer 8 – 12 hands-on tasks for the students to complete.  Our goal here is to never hear, “I’m DONE!” during center time.   We want to give students plenty of opportunities to practice their letter identification and concepts of print.

 

Additionally, these literacy centers are not tied to a season so you can rotate these letter identification and concepts of print literacy centers and anytime during your kindergarten year!

 

You may decide to have students spirally review letter identification and concepts of print all year!  These center activities will keep these essential kindergarten skills current and ongoing!   Practice makes permanent!
