Getting Apple Literacy and Math Centers Ready:
This particular resource is full of an assortment of activities and centers, therefore, preparation will vary. I will do a quick rundown of each component in this bundle.
Count the Letters
Students will sort apple cards based on how many letters are in each word. You will sort by 2, 3, 4, and 5 letters. When they are done, they can complete the worksheet. An “I Can” poster, worksheet, and six pages of centers are included. There are also a few blank apples in case you would like to add some of your own words to the list. It is recommended that you print these on cardstock and laminate for extra durability.
