Document Summary
Preparing students to work cooperatively in learning centres. Work in small groups, independently or with a classroom helper. Be grouped according to their instructional need and work with activities that are specific to their instructional need. Skills for effective group work include learning to: Make space for others (within the talk in completing the task) Cooperative skills are taught and practiced, the class is encouraged to work as a cohesive group, and individuals are given responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. Eg: oral language centre (talking for thinking), letter play centre (alphabet and letter knowledge), word play centre (sight words and vocabulary development), reading and writing centres (building reading and writing mileage) Represents the relationship between letters and sounds. Matches letters to sounds left to right. Overlays the alphabetic layer and comprises more complex groupings of letters. Groups of letters can represent small units of meaning. Writing is both a process and a product.
