Using Hands-on Activities during Centers
Each center activity was designed to add fine motor practice, hands-on learning, and visual discrimination to help your students practice various phonics and phonemic awareness skills.
A hands-on activity is any activity where children are using their hands to learn. “Hands-on activities let the students' minds grow and learn based on the experiences and the environment they are exposed to. ELLs learn while discussing, investigating, creating, and discovering with other students. As the students become familiar with the subject they are learning, they begin to make decisions, requiring less teacher support and allowing more interactive learning experiences to occur (Cooperstein & Kocevar-Weidinger, 2004).”
Hands-on activities are the number one activity that I always use in my ELA centers for this very reason. Plus, hands-on activities are proven to be highly engaging, strengthen fine motor skills, and hold students attention longer than other activities. Read more about using hands-on, tactile activities here: How to Use Hands-On Activities for ELA Centers.
Using Interactive Games during Centers
As teachers, we are always trying to find engaging phonics games to play during ELA centers. Games are a great way to encourage students to work as a team, taking turns, problem solving, and encouraging each other. By playing these games they won't even realize they are learning!
Your students will love practicing R Controlled Vowels with these highly engaging and fun phonics centers. Check out how I use some of these centers here: Four Engaging Phonics Games to Play in Centers
Simple, yet engaging! The variety of these low-prep centers allow you to use these throughout the year to continually review those phonics skills. You can also use these centers as a whole group lesson activity, during small groups, as an early finisher task, or morning work.
