Literacy Centers Part Three Big Book Station and ABC center FREEBIES!Kids love Shared Reading time.There's just something about being actively involved in reading a story that you love. Each week I introduce a new big book. We spend a week reading the book, closely analyzing the text and getting to know the characters. Joy Cowley is one of our favorite authors. After we've spent a week on a big book I don't just put it away and forget about it.
