Literacy Growth for Every Child : Differentiated Small-group Instruction K-6

Implementing differentiated small-group instruction in K-6 classrooms - where students' abilities, needs, and interests vary widely - is challenging yet extremely important.

This research-based guide is packed with ideas about how to structure literacy lessons that incorporate both collaborative and needs-based small-group instruction in order to help all students succeed.

The authors explain how to use assessment to group students appropriately and how to develop whole-class instruction that leads to productive work in groups.

Each chapter details engaging activities that will improve speaking, listening, writing, reading, and technology skills for diverse students, including English language learners.

In a large-size format for ease of photocopying, the book includes more than two dozen reproducible planning, assessment, and teaching tools.
