FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are these holiday phonics centers included in your other YEAR LONG CENTER BUNDLES (Volume 1, 2, or 3)?

Nope! These are totally different, brand-new phonics centers aligned to the science of reading best practice and perfect to support your phonics instruction.

Can my students use these centers independently?

We pride ourselves on building our center activities around our Easy Centers Framework™, which includes making them predictable and familiar to students. We use a bank of different activity styles throughout the month (choosing the best one we feel is appropriate for the skill) so that your students become familiar with the activities and have fewer (and some teachers report NONE) questions each time you switchcenters.

Can these activities be used in a digital or virtual classroom?

This particular unit includes printable hands-on games. The teacher can use them on screen, but they are not created in digital format for students to use on online platforms.

Can I use these activities in my online classrooms as teaching material? (Outschool, Online ESL)

YES! We love online teachers, and we authorize our resources to be used BY THE TEACHER during lessons. We don’t allow them to be sent to parents for use outside the online classroom.
