A lot of children entering kindergarten have not been to preschool or daycare, and some have limited support from home because they live in shelters, single parent homes, or the parents have limited reading skills themselves. These children can"t identify letters or numbers and may only be able to count up to five, and are only able to identify one to two shapes. Centers are used in my classroom throughout the day. By having My First Write Journals my students will be able to create and write their own stories which will help them become life long writers. They will also begin to see themselves as true authors and illustrators. The Letter Sounds Puzzles and the Learning Letters Activity Center will be placed in my writing station along with letter tiles, letter sound bingo, letter sound dominoes and alphabet letter books. These centers will give my students who still need to identify letters a more hands on approach to enhance these skills. During small group instruction I will be able to work one on one with with these students using these centers by having the students identify letters, use the letter tiles to spell words and identify the letters in their names. The letter sound puzzles will help the students to begin to associate letter sounds with pictures. My students will also be able to work independently or with a partner using these centers. Having these centers will help enhance my students reading and writing skills.
