Literature for Every Learner (For Grades 3 - 5)

Literature for Every Learner: Differentiating Instruction With Menus for Poetry, Short Stories, and Novels offers teachers exciting tools to challenge and reach gifted and advanced students in the classroom. Whether these students need enrichment, choice in independent practice, or even additional academic options resulting from curriculum compacting, this book provides teachers a complete ready-to-use resource for teaching the poetry, short stories, and novels suggested by the Common Core State Standards, as well as those popular in 3–5 classrooms. Each book includes a rubric that can assess different types of products, free choice proposal forms to encourage independent study, specific guidelines for each of the products included in the menus to save the teacher time, and challenging menus to meet the needs of these diverse higher level learners.
