The document describes a reading and writing learning center focused on measurement. The center's goal is for students to better understand measuring and estimating length in inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters. Students select a book on measurement, read it silently, then write about it in their science journal - including the title, authors, a summary, a drawing of their favorite part, and measuring 4 pictures from the book. The teacher later checks the students' journals to ensure they included the required information.
