What+are+workstations+used+for?

Literacy workstations are used primarily during the time when guided reading groups are going on. The teacher has to focus on the group of 4 to 5 students that he/she is working with and needs to have something for the other 15 students in his/her classroom. Workstations allows the teacher to have activities for those other students to work on and keep busy while reading groups are in progress.
