Kindergarten Literacy Center Ideas For The Computer - Once students have become familiar with using the mouse and keyboard, it is important to provide them with opportunities to practice their skills and learn from computer activities rather than “play a game.” The lessons will provide students with activities, which make thematic connections and opportunities to reinforce their literacy skills. Activities designed for thematic units in Kindergarten should involve the students in multiple opportunities to learn key concepts in various ways. Students will have opportunities to listen to stories, predict outcomes, and make connections to the story.
