Making the Most of Small Groups: Differentiation for All
Debbie Diller
Structured around the five essential reading elements — comprehension, fluency, phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary — the book provides practical tips, sample lessons, lesson plans and templates, suggestions for related literacy work stations, and connections to whole-group instruction.
This title features techniques for working with small groups within larger classes and the teacher's role in small-group instruction. Making the Most of Small Groups grapples with difficult questions regarding small-group instruction in primary classrooms such as:
- How do I find the time?
- How can I be more organised?
- How do I form groups?
- How can I differentiate to meet the needs of all of my students?
In addition to ideas to use immediately in the classroom, the author provides an overview of relevant research and reflection questions for professional conversations.
