Description

This is a year-long set of 10 monthly literacy centers for 2nd-5th grade. These monthly ELA centers are curated based off of common themes and grade-level standards and balanced by informational and literature standards. Everything you need for a complete year of centers will be included in this huge, comprehensive resource.

These centers are designed to be used with 2nd-5th grade students.

• Most centers are easily adapted to meet the expectations of your students’ grade level. For example, you might only require students to use one page of the research center and provide the research text for them with younger students while you might have older students find their own research and fill in all pages.
• Centers requiring specific skills are broken up into a 2nd/3rd grade option and a 4th/5th grade option so that you can use the resource that best fits the needs of your students.
