4-0 out of 5 stars decent lit. centers book
This book has some great and usable ideas.Somethe pages were a bit wordy for first grade and I was expecting a bit more from the book, but I did find a lot that I can add to my centers right away.

3-0 out of 5 stars Unexpected
I was hoping to find more activities in the book that I could immediately copy and use.It was more of a specific organized plan for your centers.

5-0 out of 5 stars A time saver
This book has so many open ended activites to use in centers that the possibilities are endless.The activities focus on three main areas-Comprehension, Fluency, and word study.What is really helpful is that there are activites at 3 different levels for all areas, which makes planning a breeze.I wish I had found this book years ago instead of wasting my time making file folder games,etc.Along with the three centers represented in this book I will have a writing and listening center--and I am set for the year!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!
Differentiated Literacy Centers is an outstanding and thorough resource that is based upon sound research.The structure of this book made it easy to read and to quickly find key elements: tips on organization and time management of centers, comprehension, fluency and word study activities, in addition to corresponding blackline masters.Options for planning are outlined in different frameworks.All questions that you may have are answered and the author includes a quick-glance summary for each area.I highly recommend this book! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A must acquire for librarians
If you tell someone something, they know that fact. If you teach someone to find out the fact themselves, they can get any fact they desire.

Expanding on the subjects presented in the earlier volumes, Hunt & Birks offer more knowledge and wisdom of educators and how to inspire research in patrons.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must have for teachers and parents!
As an early childhood professional, this is one of my favorite activity resources. We hear so much about the importance of environmental print in building early literacy skills, and this book shows how to incorporate these types of experiences in meaningful ways into the daily life of the classroom.The book is laid out the way teachers think and plan, with chapters divided into the various learning centers of a typical early childhood classroom.There is also a very useful "Theme Connections" index that ties the various activities to popular pre-k and kindergarten theme units, making lesson planning a breeze.

The over 100 activity ideas included are simple, inexpensive, and wonderfully unique.The literacy learning objectives listed for each activity are a real help when trying to match specific activities to the different developmental levels and needs of the children in the group.And because these activities use everyday print items and recyclables that are so readily available, I have found it simple to adapt many of the activities to use with my own child at home.

What a gem!I recommend this resource for anyone who wants to help children see themselves as readers. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great resource!
This book is a great resource for scientifically sound strategies for teaching reading. It is chock full of good chapters and an excellent resource for graphic organizers. The strategies and organizers have been ramped up to be relevant for teenage learners and teachers who expect students to arrive in their high school classrooms already knowing how to read, but who still need some direct instruction and specific strategies for being successful in school. THis resource would be helpful for typical, special ed, esl, all learners.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not for upper grades
This is a great book for teachers instructing the lower grade levels or ELL classes.Very easy assignments that are great for practicing foundation skills; by grade 11 & 12 the foundation should be solidly in place, making this paper too low of an expectation for students from teachers at this grade level.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great tips on teaching
Mr. Zwiers has come up with some great reading activities for the classroom. They are easy to understand and modify. It is a great resource for teachers looking for ways to reach their students.
