Blake’s Learning Centres - Literacy Centres are a wonderful, motivating way for students to practise important reading and writing skills.

The colourful centres are self-contained and portable. Once you’ve made the centres they are ready to use at any time!  The removable coloured pages in the book just need to be laminated and cut out to provide your classroom with literacy centres your students can use for years to come.

Teacher directions and reproducible student work sheets are also provided for each centre. The instructions are clear and easily understood which enables students to work independently as well as in groups.

"The novelty of doing activities from laminated cards is much more appealing than traditional 'chalk and talk'."
- Margot Wilson, Year 3 teacher, New Basics School, Far North Queensland.
