Learning Stations The classroom is separated into centers. Each of the tables is a center.

Reading Center Students have the opportunity to use all classroom materials mentioned in the Writing Center. Big books, poems, hanging word picture charts, graphics, chants, and songs (all in enlarged print) are easily accessible. Students understand that words are made up of sounds, sounds are represented by letters and each letter has a sound (phonetic awareness). Students learn to sound out and blend letters to make words (c-a-t =cat). Children are also introduced to high frequency words through activities that help them learn to recognize, read, and write these words.
