The one thing I always hear when people start considering the process of differentiating their instruction is that they just don’t have the time and they don’t know where to start. I know, believe me, I get it. Tiering, compacting, flexible grouping, learning centers . . . it all takes time. If it didn’t, everyone would be doing it and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
My kiddos LOVED pretending to be an author and having the opportunity to write the text to go with the pictures before having read he ‘real’ sentences.
My kiddos beg for ‘guess the covered word’ so I thought this would be a great opportunity to let them do it at their level.
I have been following your blog for several months and have tried many of yours ideas. Thanks for this freebie and all the others you’ve shared! I’ve also added Mrs. Miner’s blog to my Google Reader – thanks for introducing us to her blog:-)

Thank you for sharing how you differentiate for your students. You take a tough concept and make it easy by showing how you do it and give us the resources to do it on our own.

Marsha, thank you for another wonderful differentiated station idea. My kids are going to love their new farm station. Our graduation theme this year is “Down On the Farm.” I was so excited when I found this, but when I went to download it to print it, it kept saying it was unable to pull up (too many redirects.) I have no idea what that means. Is there any way you could email it to me? I apologize for the inconvenience! Thanks again for always “sharing!” Have a great week!

Hmmm it’s coming up fine for me on google docs but I’m happy to email it to you. I do need your email address though.
Marsha
I can’t believe I forgot to include my email. I guess I stayed up too late last night. 🙂 Thank you so much for sending it to me. Sometimes my MacBook will not download google documents properly. Thanks again! mmcbride@dyercs.net

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing how to differentiate and making it so easy to understand.
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas on this. It is so easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to differentiation in reading groups. I love the freebie . . . it is going to be perfect to start the school year. Glad I found you 🙂
