Differentiated Small Group Reading Lessons

In this highly practical, research-based resource, veteran teacher Margo Southall demonstrates how to form groups based on students’ reading goals instead of their reading levels, allowing teachers to target instruction based on specific needs. She includes “When/Then” charts that describe common student difficulties and links them to the appropriate lesson. The scaffolded lessons are complemented by coaching prompts, management tips, reproducible bookmarks and strategy charts, and assessment and planning sheets-everything needed to implement small-group differentiated reading instruction in the classroom.
