ROUTINES IN THE LITERACY CLASSROOM
Routines are procedures and habits that we put into place and practice regularly in the classroom. They provide structure for students to know what to expect, and to develop confidence with their language learning. Through consistent participation in routines, students can become more engaged and strengthen necessary skills.
