Ideas for connecting science and literacy through literature and writing, exemplary science activities, incredible pictures, tales of adventure, and stories of indigenous people and amazing animals will be part of each posting.

I recently read a book on that topic that was very helpful and goes into a great deal of depth. It's called "Differentiating Reading Instruction" and is by Laura Robb, a longtime teacher herself. (She currently coaches teachers in reading and writing.) She's made differentiating reading instruction possible -- and doable, which is just as important! She includes sample work, plus lessons, strategies, management tips and assessment ideas. I feel very capable in being able to plan and purchase materials to reach every learner in my class. I'd say this book applies to grades 4 and up. Give it a look -- as a teacher I found it a great resource! I was interested to read about Dr. Knoell’s discussion of differentiated reading.
