Pre Kindergarten Reading - Literacy Centers

In this blog I have posted ideas for your reading Literacy Centers. The Kinderplans website has more ideas and the resources to complete the activities.
1. Match letters to picture cards
2. Matching upper-case letters to lower-case letters
3. The letters of the alphabet can be typed in different types of fonts and sorted accordingly
4. Write each student's name on a card. Write the names on another set of cards and glue their picture to the back. The children must locate the name/picture match.
5. Children match words cards (visual discrimination). This can be used with color words.
6. Children can build words using stamps, cut-up letters or magnetic letters.
7. Individual words can be cut and the children build sentences with these. For younger children they would need a model to follow.
8. Children match rhyming picture cards
9. Children can read CVC picture cards or match the words to the correct picture.
