Marc, age 6, has been placed in a first grade classroom but he can read and write on a fourth grade level. How can a teacher provide appropriately challenging work for Marc within the first grade classroom? Give two suggestions
What will be an ideal response?
There are many ways in which a teacher can challenge students who are working above grade level expectations.
• Differentiated Projects: Many teachers encourage students to respond to their reading with a project. When they create projects, advanced students have opportunities to pursue special interests and extend their learning.
• Literacy Centers: Literacy Centers can be used to differentiate instruction. Advanced students can read more difficult texts and complete more challenging work at literacy centers.
• Text Sets: Teachers create text sets of books and other reading materials for students to read during literature focus groups and thematic units. These collections can include books that vary in difficulty to appropriately challenge advanced students.
