Another Round of Literacy Work Stations

I try to change out my literacy work stations frequently. Each station just has a few things that I rotate to keep things novel. Here are some of my most updated stations. 

 Magnet Letter Work Station


 Here the students practice spelling their popcorn words with magnets.


Fine Motor Work Station


The kids spell sight words with tiny letter pasta that they pick up with tweezers.

 
I found these linking pieces at JoAnn Fabrics. The kids love to hook them together at the fine motor station and make necklaces and bracelets.


Making Words Work Station

The kids practice spelling sight words with playdough.

The kids practice spelling sight words with pipe cleaners.

Games and Puzzles Work Station
 
I bought these cards at a teacher store. The kids put them together in a mini pocket chart to build 3 letter words and then they record the words they made.

Name Work Station

 
The kids take a little box of letter tiles and sort letters that are in their name and not in their name.

 
The kids rainbow write their classmates names. They trace over each name 5 times.

Read the Room Work Station

 
The kids go around the room and find words that they know or words that start with the letter on the stick.

I like the sorting letters in your name and not in your name idea. Going to do that with my 3.5-yr-old this afternoon. We have a light table and some colorful little see-thru letters that will work perfectly for this! Thanks.
