How to Teach Literacy Centers Using Decodable Books!

In today's video I am showing you five ways to create literacy centers in your classroom that are aligned to the Science of Reading Research, using decodable books.
In my opinion, there are a few requirements for successful literacy centers. First, they need to be no or low prep. You shouldn’t have to spend three hours planning every week to change your centers and activities. That’s not sustainable for you as a teacher.
Second, literacy centers need to be easy to implement. It’s really important that students can independently do the activities without distracting you during your small group time. So, students need to be able to easily understand what to do and what needs to be accomplished in the center.
Third, the activities in literacy centers need to be review. You can’t give students an activity to do that they’ve never done before and expect them to do it on their own. These activities need to focus on review of previously taught skills. If you keep these three things in mind, it makes literacy centers sustainable for you as the teacher.

I am not seeing a link for the decodable books. I was able to get the post it freebies (Thank you!) but not the books.

Great ideas of adapting balance literacy activities with decodables. Do you give kids feedback if you notice errors in the recording that they are listening back? I’m wondering how you are giving feedback so they don’t practice errors.
