[LIT] centers

[Melanie Davis]

Teacher Created Materials offers several book that are already created Lit 
centers. I laminated them and placed them in folders, etc. for the kids. I 
believe they have a 6th grade level book. I purchased mine "used" off 
Amazon.com.

I would be interested in ways to set up centers for 7th graders. I teach 
reading and would like to set up centers for skills like main idea, 
vocabulary, inferences etc. Any ideas would be helpful.
