Tips from Real Teachers
Differentiation Made Easy
- Don't announce levels to students. Just give each group the version that matches their needs.
- Mix and match. A student reading below grade level can still do the At Grade comprehension work with a partner.
- Use levels for scaffolding, not tracking. Kids can move between levels based on the topic, not their "permanent" level.
Planning Ahead
- Batch your planning. Generate 5 lessons on Sunday for the week.
- Align to your content. If teaching about animals, search the Article Bank for science topics or paste in your own text.
- Keep a favorites folder. Bookmark articles you love for next year.
Making It Your Own
- The generated content is a starting point, not a script.
- Swap out vocabulary words if you have others you're focusing on.
- Add your own discussion prompts.
- Adjust activities to fit your classroom routines.
