How Will This Help My Students At Their Writing Centers?

It’s difficult to choose writing center activities because your student’s abilities are not one-size-fits-all. Differentiation is difficult at any independent literacy stations, especially at your writing stations. That’s why it’s important to offer activities for your students who are just beginning to write words as well as providing challenging writing activities for your students who are writing sentences and paragraphs. This February writing station meets the needs of your diverse learners as they learn to write words, sentences, and paragraphs independently.
