Book Description

5 and upK and up
Differentiated instruction is the hallmark of good teaching. However, developing leveled materials and creating an organizational system to manage it all is an immense undertaking. In this comprehensive resource, veteran teacher and staff developer Margo Southall shares management tools along with hundreds of leveled activities that she has fine-tuned over the years. The result is an invaluable collection of research-based activities that enable teachers to match independent practice with students' needs in reading comprehension, fluency, word study, and writing. Moreover, Southall provides a workable framework that makes setting up the centers and tracking student progress simple. Includes dozens of planning sheets and record-keeping forms in addition to reproducible student pages. Meets Reading First and NCLB guidelines. For use with Grades K-3.

5.0 out of 5 stars A time saver, May 17, 2009
This review is from: Differentiated Literacy Centers: 85 + Leveled Activities-With Reproducible Planning Sheets and Student Pages-to Support Centers in Fluency, Reading Comprehension, and Word Study (Paperback)
This book has so many open ended activites to use in centers that the possibilities are endless. The activities focus on three main areas-Comprehension, Fluency, and word study. What is really helpful is that there are activites at 3 different levels for all areas, which makes planning a breeze. I wish I had found this book years ago instead of wasting my time making file folder games,etc. Along with the three centers represented in this book I will have a writing and listening center--and I am set for the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!, December 9, 2008
This review is from: Differentiated Literacy Centers: 85 + Leveled Activities-With Reproducible Planning Sheets and Student Pages-to Support Centers in Fluency, Reading Comprehension, and Word Study (Paperback)
Differentiated Literacy Centers is an outstanding and thorough resource that is based upon sound research. The structure of this book made it easy to read and to quickly find key elements: tips on organization and time management of centers, comprehension, fluency and word study activities, in addition to corresponding blackline masters. Options for planning are outlined in different frameworks. All questions that you may have are answered and the author includes a quick-glance summary for each area. I highly recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected, July 26, 2009
This review is from: Differentiated Literacy Centers: 85 + Leveled Activities-With Reproducible Planning Sheets and Student Pages-to Support Centers in Fluency, Reading Comprehension, and Word Study (Paperback)
I was hoping to find more activities in the book that I could immediately copy and use. It was more of a specific organized plan for your centers.
