About these spring reading centers

Use these spring reading centers when you need to pull together an engaging center for your students that meet standards.

We’ve included a variety of activities designed to be used as center work during your reading workshop.

Set up your centers by first printing on heavy card stock.

Next, laminate the pages for durability and copy the recording pages for students.

We have updated this set to now include a version on a white background. This will be helpful for those of you looking to conserve color ink.

You will find the following activities in the download:

Synonym Match  Students match the synonym cards – can be used as a simple sort or as a matching game. There is also a recording page.

Sentence Sort  Students sort the sentences into the correct category depending on the type of sentence.

Spring Phrases We have provided four different sentences. Students choose one, record the sentence and draw a picture to show what they visualize.

ABC Order Practice This center gives students practice alphabetizing up to the third letter. Includes two recording pages for you to choose from.

Past Tense Verbs  Students record the verb and then write the past tense of each verb.

Abbreviations  Students match each word with the correct abbreviation in a matching game or sort. Another variation is for you to provide the full words only. Students choose a word and write the correct abbreviation.

Be an Author  Encourage students to focus on word usage. Children choose a sentence card and then expand the sentence by adding adjectives, more exciting verbs and anything else to make the sentence easier to visualize.

Friendly Letter Writing  Students choose a letter prompt and write a friendly letter. We have included lined paper that can be used if desired or have students write in their journal.
