Setting up Literacy Centers for 2nd Grade

Thanks, Teachers Pay Teachers...I love that site

Students won't even know they are learning about and practicing skills and strategies (Spelling has the following contained within one "center":  Color Code, ABC Order, Stair-Step, Syllable Count, Words in a Sentence, Rainbow Words, Letter Shapes, Parts of Speech Chart, Fancy/Cursive Letters); Vocabulary; Top Ten; Word Sort; Squiggle Story; Write a Letter; Writing Windows; Reading Response Code; Read and Write the Room.  Centers are held in over-the-door pocket chart for easy organization, management and storage.

Got another new kiddo:)
