Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

For struggling readers and writers, try the following differentiation ideas:

• Provide a verb tense anchor chart or other reference materials for students to refer to during independent practice.
• Complete the activity in a 1:1 setting, or provide small-group instruction.
• Partner struggling readers with other students to assist in the reading component of the activity.
