Literacy+Centres

__**Literacy Centres **__

Each day, just before recess, 3/4 do Literacy Centres. These centres are based around traditional reading groups, but encompass all 3 strands of the English syllabus; Talking and Listening, Reading and Writing, as well as literacy games one day a week. This is to help develop students literacy skills across all strands, not just focussing on one.

This page is useful for looking for literacy games, or other technology based literacy ideas that are either used in the classroom or can be used from home to consolidate literacy learning.
