Centers/Stations
- Use the iPad for a listening center. Download Treasures stories (from CD that came with the series) or other stories through iTunes/iBooks for students to listen to and create a skill worksheet they will need to complete with the center.
- Have students take turns during centers using the iPad for activities like Edmodo, Raz-Kids, IXL or other apps you choose. Have a timer near the iPad so students can start it when it is their turn.
- Have students record themselves reading a story with the camera, then listen back for fluency, share with a reading buddy, or share with parents at conferences.
- Have students use Sock Puppets, Tellagami, or Toontastic to retell a story or explain an idea during centers. Be sure to let students share their creations at some point.
- Download Free Children's books in iBooks. Students can read during DEAR time or during centers.
- Create your own lessons on Educreations or Showme for students to view at a center.
