  students can work alone or interact with one
  another using instructional materials to teach,
  reinforce and/or enrich a skill or concept.

  the brains attention

Differences BetweenLiteracy and Traditional
Centers

• Materials are taught first then placed in station

• Traditional
• Materials may have only been introduced once

• Stations stays up all year. The material is
  changed to reflect topics, level or strategies
  taught

• Centers change on a weekly bases

6
Differences BetweenLiteracy and Traditional
Centers

• Literacy
• Student use stations in a meaningful independent
  manner daily

• Traditional
• Centers are often used by students when they
  finish their work.

• Materials are differentiated to meet different
  needs and levels

• All students do the same activity

7
Teachers Role
