• Meet each student’s needs
As a new teacher, it is very important for me to meet the needs of each and every student in my classroom. Students all learn at different rates; therefore, I must be able to teach to the highest students and the lowest students to move them all to their next level of independence.

What is differentiated instruction?
According to Carol Ann Tomlinson, “Differentiation means tailoring instruction to
meet individual needs…the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction.”

Differentiated instruction could be as simple as scaffolding or directing questions to specific students during a read aloud or shared reading.
Example: To figure out the “tricky” word ‘dolphin’, I’ll ask Sophia (who is
at risk) to help me with the ph sound.

Scaffolding “A concept based on the principles of Vygotsky’s Theory.”
The teacher provides support and assistance to keep a student from failing. As the child becomes independent,
the teacher begins removing the support.
Also connected to Dialectical Constructivism. The teacher “provides hints and prompts to students as they struggle with problems. That is, he or she provides just enough
support so that the child can make progress.”-Pressley & McCormick, pg. 86

What is Guided Reading? cont.
“Students need ongoing instruction even after they understand the essence of reading.” Fountas & Pinnell
Students must learn to adjust their strategies based on the purpose or
genre of their reading Organize their knowledge to
Summarize and/or Make inferences from difficult texts

A teacher works with a small-group Children in the group are similar in their
development of a reading process and are able to read about the same level of text.
Teachers introduce the stories and assist children’s reading in ways that help to develop independent reading strategies.

independently and silently The emphasis is on reading increasingly
challenging books over time Children are grouped and regrouped
through ongoing observation and assessment

WHY have literacy centers?
Besides being able to work in a small group without interruptions, children are able to
work at their own level.

Working in literacy centers, children will; Develop social skills by learning how to share
and cooperate Learn responsibility and organizational skills Repeat and practice skills Engage more senses and activate more
pathways to the brain with hands-on centers Integrate a variety of skills and concepts, such
as, ABC knowledge, word fluency, phonics, vocabulary, oral language, writing skills, small motor skills, and creativity.

Future uses for this power point
Our school is implementing guided reading this year and many primary teachers are struggling with how to do this in their classroom.
My plan is to share this with the teachers at my school on December 5th as part of the professional development meeting.
