Description: I am a first year teacher learning the ropes. I am finding the work stations very easy to implement and am enjoying the "freedom" to achieve reading level testing at week three of the school year and am looking forward to guided reading group time soon.
Details: This is just the book I was hoping to find! It has many great ideas for setting up literacy centers for kindergarteners. I shared the book with my kindergarten team, and they all want their own copy of the book.
Review Summary: Excellent book!

Details: This is an amazing book! I took it with me on the plane and lost it...so I re-ordered it on-line. I am a kindergarten teacher and use a lot of these ideas for literacy centers. Her ideas are great!
Review Summary: LOVE IT

Details: I actually have two copies of this book. I had misplaced my first copy and had to have another one. I use these ideas throughout my kindergarten classroom. It would be even better for first and second grade classrooms. I use the "I Can" lists and management board ideas. This book really helps make centers work. I plan on giving one as a gift any time I have a student teacher. If you can only buy one book, this is the one to buy!
Review Summary: Amazing

Details: I would recommend Debbie's book to all K-2 teachers! I spent TONS of time making and preparing "centers" during my 1st year of teaching and my students struggled with them. I read Debbie's book and set up my work stations according to her models - not only is it my students' favorite time of the day, but it's mine too! I also spend very little time preparing for work stations as the book explains how to use tasks that are taught during your everyday lessons (this way they easily align with the curriculum)!
I LOVE this book and just can't say enough about it! It has a permanent place on my desk!
Review Summary: Love the Work Stations
