“Differentiating instruction may mean teaching the same material to all students using a variety of instructional strategies, or it may require the teacher to deliver lessons at varying levels of difficulty based on the ability of each student.” (Weselby, 2022). Teachers do not always have to do much prep to do differentiating instructions. It could be as simple as putting students in small groups for reading comprehension. You can have a group come to the teacher’s desk, and the other groups can spread around the room to work with their group of four to five students. For example:
The left is a Lexile of 550, and the one on the right is 440. While it is the same story, the readers can have it based on their reading skills. This provides the students with the same information needed for discussion or worksheets but at the level appropriate to their ability. Utilizing the same idea, you can have worksheets with a short reading passage and comprehension questions. The lower-ability students would take turns reading at the teacher’s table. Then go to their seats to answer questions. The rest of the class will be reading the passage and answering questions silently on their own. As you can see, both examples do not require any prep time to accommodate the needs of the students in the class but still give the proper support and time needed for all the students in the class for the assignment. Most teachers are given these types of readers in their curriculum at the beginning of the year, but it is an excellent way to ensure that all your students can read on their levels and discuss what they are learning.
