Beyond the Small Group: Using Decodable Texts in Literacy Stations

 GRADES K-3 

 

Watch Now

Small group instruction is essential—but what are the rest of your students doing while you’re working with small groups? And how can you ensure they’re engaged in meaningful, skill-building activities when you’re not there to guide them? There are many ways to leverage decodable texts by incorporating them into your literacy centers.

In this session, we’ll explore creative ways to integrate decodable texts into literacy stations so that all students are actively engaged in reinforcing essential reading skills. You’ll walk away with ready-to-use ideas that keep students learning independently—while reinforcing both word recognition and language comprehension skills.
