If you want to create independent thinkers and readers in your classroom...This is the book you are looking for! Great ideas to incorporate in your centers. I have used most of the ideas in my first grade classroom.

I have purchased many resource books on Literacy Centers in the past few years. This is the best by far! It is exactly what I've been looking for to get my literacy centers going correctly. I teach 1st grade and I am excited to start using the ideas in this book. They are explained very well and the centers are simple. I feel they will get the kids reading, writing and thinking on their own. Great purchase!

Let's just say this. I've been teaching for 10 years. I have an outstanding professional dev. library at my school, and I wanted my own copy of this book. It's that useful. You won't want to just read it. It's a book you can use again and again.

This book was teacher friendly and a great resource. It shows how to easily set up and maintain literacy centers. The actual reading is only about 45 pages, the rest of the book has resources for teachers to set up the centers.

I was excited to order this book, but once I received it, it had all the same ideas that all the other books have about learning centers, just presented in a slightly different way. I was very disappointed in my purchase and would not recommend it if you have already have experience with centers.

Includes all kinds of literacy center ideas and posters to make set up a breeze! Excellent resource to have available.

If you ever wanted to know why, how, and what to get when setting up this valuable part of any classroom, THIS BOOK GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS! I have used this book for 2 years in teacher workshops and consider it a valuable resource. BUY IT!

I have read the reviews on this product. I noticed that the reviews were few and dated far in between. I have ordered several books on Literacy Centers and found them to be much too wordy in their explanation and short on ideas for students who come with no prior education experiences (from home or a pre-school program). I am a visual learner( Pictures with simple directions work best for me) and as a Kindergarten teacher ,I am often exhausted trying to make/prepare and laminate useful Centers THEN teach 26 4-5 year olds the Center activities(use and routines). What would be helpful : to read reviews from teachers who have used this book and others across a 10 month school year,ideas from those who may have had to adapt an idea to make it more successful, to find a resource where most of the ideas are doable and can benefit each child( isn't this why we do what we do ?) no matter what the State standards/Reading Writing/Literacy programs are.I've spent a lot of money on books and then had to give them away because 10% of the ideas in a book were actually doable. I don't want to order a book and not be able to use it effectively.

This book had great practical ideas for centers. I liked that it also gave good ideas about how to make centers work in your classroom. The ideas really matched our reading goals.

the book was ok. I thought that it would have more literacy activities than it had
