2nd Grade Literacy Centers and Games: Looking for some interesting, standards-aligned literacy centers for your 2nd Graders? These year-long, hands-on literacy centers are designed to give on-going practice with phonics, grammar-parts of speech, reading, and writing. Spiraled literacy practice can help 2nd grade students become much stronger in reading and writing.
What these 2nd grade literacy centers can do for you & your students:
- Constant worksheets can be boring! These hands-on activities are engaging and fun.
- These literacy centers can be used with ANY ELA curriculum, read-alouds, or chapter books to give your kiddos engaging practice–so even if your school changes curriculum, or if you change schools, you can still use these! No money wasted.
- Using one set of centers all year prevents you from having to switch out literacy activities every month.
- These centers can be used for during whole class instruction, for independent student work, partner work, or small groups–having this level of flexibility makes lesson planning with them less stressful. Just incorporate where and when you need them for learning.
- Your 2nd graders will have fun with the different card games and matching activities in this set. And if they have fun, they engage and willingly participate, which means they will want to complete their center games without getting on your nerves during small group instruction or guided reading time.
