“Differentiated teaching refers to methods teachers use to extend the knowledge and skills of every student in every class, regardless of their starting point.” (Victoria State Government 2020:28). How do you do this in a reading lesson when you are teaching a class of 35+ students of mixed ability all together? When should you do small group teaching and how should you group your students – by ability or interest or …? In this seminar we explain what is differentiated instruction, why is it important for reading lessons and how it is done. We use the Lotus reading lesson procedure to demonstrate techniques for differentiation in a whole class setting and discuss how you can supplement this with some small group sessions to help struggling readers while offering challenging activities to other groups. This topic is part of the Lotus Reading Program online course which will be offered mid-year.
