ELAR K-2 Differentiating Small Groups

In this self-paced, online learning course, you will learn two ways of utilizing small groups to provide reading instruction in the K-2 classroom. You will also learn strategies for when to use each type of small group, and discuss ways to apply the learning in your classroom.

After course completion, you will have two differentiated structures in your teacher toolkit to support you as you reach the needs of all learners.

Here are a few of the learning experiences you can expect while working your way through the modules in this course:

  • Module 1: Small Group Reading Instruction: What & How
