In our classroom, we use reading workstations to help us work on sight words, spelling words, grammar skills, independent reading, and to differentiate reading instruction. We do four stations for 10-15 minutes four days a week. Our first station is Work on Words. In our Work on Words station, we practice our spelling words every day! Our favorite spelling activities include Rainbow Writing, Spin and Write Spelling Words, and Type-It Spelling Words! (We like to turn off the bright fluorescent lights and use lamps, string lights, and natural light instead. It keeps us more calm and focused! Plus, it looks cool!) The next station is Work on Writing. In Work on Writing, we write in our writing journals, practice editing sentences, work on grammar skills, and practice sight words. We really enjoy Sight Word Graphing and Roll and Writing Sight Words! Our third station is Read to Self. Here we can get comfy and practice our reading stamina! We make sure that we have time to read independently every day! The final station is Meet with Teacher. This is my favorite station because I get to meet with my kiddos in small groups so that I can help meet individual needs. Activities we do in this station include graphing data, reading leveled books, reader's theater, sight word games, and task cards. Some groups are able to do some activities more independently where other groups might need more of my time and attention.
