RAND Model of readingReading comprehension is
our goal. It involves extraction of ideas from text and construction of ideas in the head of the reader. It is influenced by characteristics of the reader, the text, the activity, and the context in which it happens.

Stage models of readingWhen children are acquiring
literacy – developing the skills necessary for reading comprehension – they tend to move through stages in which their focus is very different. All along, during each stage, they are developing oral language skills.
Oral Language
Fluency
Alphabet Knowledge
Phonemic Awareness

Start thinking . . . If you were trapped on a desert island until
you could come up with an ideal reading program for your school, what would it include?
To what extent does your current program include these things?
If there are missing elements, why don’t you think the designers included them?

“At its most basic level, differentiation consists of the efforts of teachers to respond to variance among learners in the classroom. Whenever a teacher reaches out to an individual or small group to vary his or her teaching in order to create the best learning experience possible, that teacher is differentiating instruction.”
Carol Ann Tomlinson, Differentiation of Instruction in the Elementary Grades. ERIC Digest. http://www.ericdigests.org/2001-2/elementary.html
![Page 7: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Defining Differentiation (adapted from Tomlinson)Content What a student needs to learn
Process Activities and instruction to accomplish that learning
Product Evidence to demonstrate that learning
Learning Environment
Procedures and opportunities for support and collaboration
![Page 9: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let’s think it through You’ve read aloud a piece of children’s
literature to develop vocabulary and comprehension. How could you differentiate for students on or
above grade level, just below grade level, and well below grade level?
Would you choose to differentiate content, process, product, and/or learning environment? Why?
![Page 10: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Let’s think it through Make it more complex. You have a class of 20
students and a well-designed core reading program. Your goal is to develop at least grade-level competence in decoding, fluency, and comprehension. How could you differentiate for students on or above
grade level, just below grade level, and well below grade level?
Would you choose to differentiate content, process, product, and/or learning environment? Why?
![Page 11: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Researchers have long tried to focus differentiation for reading“Balanced reading” was a critical concept in literacy
history. It curricularized differentiation as one part of reading instruction. Teachers read aloud from children’s literature, engaged in shared reading from big books and posters, formed flexible groups for guided reading of little books and leveled books, and finally provided time for independent reading from a wide range of materials.
![Page 12: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Guided reading …
“takes advantage of social support and allows the teacher to operate efficiently, to work with the tension between ease and challenge that is necessary to support readers’ moving forward in their learning.” (p. 6)

Defining Differentiation(Fountas and Pinnell)
Planning Form groups based on fluency.
Choose a text for each group.
Before Reading
Introduce the text.
Conduct a picture walk to develop comprehension.
During Reading
Listen and take notes about strategy use.
Discuss the story.
Confirm and support problem-solving for words.
After Reading
Discuss, respond to the story.
Assess understanding.
![Page 15: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let’s think it through You have first graders, 12 of whom have been
identified as at-risk in the area of decoding by your screening assessment. How would a guided reading format support their
development? What would you gain by planning guided reading for
all of them? What would you lose by planning guided reading for
all of them?
![Page 16: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This text was dedicated specifically to coaches and teachers in Georgia. It is derived from challenges and lessons in implementing Reading First.

Differentiation is
“instruction that helps [children] accomplish challenging tasks that are just out of their reach”
“instruction that targets a particular group of children’s needs directly and temporarily”
“instruction that applies a developmental model”
Walpole, S., & McKenna, M. C. (2007). Differentiated reading instruction: Strategies for the primary grades. New York: Guilford Press.
![Page 18: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The concept of three tiers of instruction
The 3-tier model (University of Texas System/Texas Education Agency, 2005) is a general framework — and just a framework — for explaining how any research-based program can be executed in a school.

Tier I: Core Classroom Reading Instruction1. A core reading program grounded in scientifically
based reading research2. Benchmark testing of all kindergarten through
third-grade students to determine instructional needs at least three times per year (fall, winter, and spring)
3. Ongoing professional development to provide teachers with the necessary tools to ensure that every student receives quality reading instruction
![Page 20: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tier II: Supplemental Instruction
For some students, core classroom reading instruction is not enough. Tier II is designed to meet the needs of these students by providing them with additional small-group reading instruction daily.
![Page 21: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tier III: Instruction for Intensive Intervention
A small percentage of students require more support in acquiring vital reading skills than Tier II instruction can provide. For these students, Tier III provides instruction that is more explicit, more intensive, and specifically designed to meet their individual needs.
![Page 22: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In Georgia Reading First All students should have access to both
Tier I and Tier II instruction during the 135-minute block Our ideal is that all students have small-group
differentiated instruction every day Tier III instruction (Intensive Intervention)
occurs outside the block and is reserved for those students for whom Tiers I and II are not working
![Page 23: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Do children come in tiers, too?
Think about last year’s instruction.
How well did your strongest students do? How well did your middle group do? How well did your struggling students do?
![Page 24: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It may be hard to accept, but the results you’re getting are the results you’re supposed to be getting. In other words, whatever you are doing right now is bringing you the results you are getting right now . . . Change what you are doing and you can change your results. Pretty simple really.

I define insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get different results.

Our state-level data indicate that we are not yet meeting the needs of
all students; our school visits indicate that differentiated
instruction is not yet fully realized.
![Page 27: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Setting the stage for differentiation
requires careful analysis of the core.
![Page 28: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Decide what to teach when.We are more likely to achieve improvements
in vocabulary and comprehension for K and 1st grade during whole-group read-alouds, using both core selections and children’s literature.
We can introduce and practice phonemic awareness and phonics concepts during whole group, but we’re more likely to achieve mastery during small-group time.
![Page 29: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Decide what to teach when.We are more likely to achieve improvements
in fluency and comprehension in 2nd and 3rd grade if we introduce them in whole-group and practice in small-group time.
We can introduce word recognition concepts during whole-group time, but we will likely achieve mastery only during small-group time.
What do we have to do to accomplish this?
![Page 30: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Make more time for small groups. Literacy coaches and grade-level teams
must determine exactly how to use the core program Sort core instructional components from
extension and enrichment activities Moderate and control instructional pacing so that
early introductions and reviews are fast
What do we have to do to accomplish this?
![Page 31: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Make a very simple centers rotation. Look for materials already in the core. Consider daily paired readings and rereadings. Consider a daily activity linked directly to your read-aloud.
Your children can write in response to that text every day. Make your centers coherent! They are not babysitting
stations but tools to reinforce and extend what you teach. Consider a daily activity linked directly to your small-group
instruction. Your children can practice the things you’ve introduced.
What do we have to do to accomplish this?
![Page 32: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Considerations for K Centers
Strategic and intensive children are struggling with LNF Computer station? Letters for distributed practice at home?
Only half the children are established with ISF. Only 5 children are low risk for PSF Picture sorts Pictures to say and spell
![Page 33: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Considerations for 1st-grade Centers
Fluency: Paired rereading of old stories Paired reading of additional texts (benchmark)
Phonics: Picture sorts, word sorts Spelling for sounds
Vocabulary/Comprehension: Listening station
![Page 34: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Considerations for 2nd-grade Centers
Fluency: Assisted fluency work for intensive Paired rereading of old stories for strategic Paired reading of additional texts for benchmark
Phonics: First grade materials? Intervention materials? Practice with core vocabulary
Vocabulary/Comprehension: Listening station with retelling sheet (intensive) Leveled books and expository texts with retelling sheets
(strategic and benchmark)
![Page 35: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Considerations for 3rd-grade Centers
Fluency: Assisted fluency work for intensive Paired rereading of old stories for strategic Paired reading of additional texts for benchmark
Phonics: First grade materials? Intervention materials? Practice with core vocabulary

Now you have set the stage for differentiated reading instruction.
It’s time to plan.
1. Gather your resources.
2. Consider your children’s needs.
3. Try it out.
![Page 37: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Gather your instructional resources. Remember that time is a resource! Make a daily or weekly schedule for
instruction at each grade level. The more collaborative it is, the better. The more specific it is, the better. The more time you reserve for small-group
instruction, the better. The more specific you are about the texts for
read-alouds, the better.

Gather your instructional resources. Summarize, in list form, the scope and
sequence of instruction at each grade level. What order for letter names? What order for letter sounds? What order for letter patterns? What order for high-frequency words? What order for comprehension skills and
strategies?
![Page 42: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Gather your instructional resources. Examine ALL assessments that are designed as
part of your core; they would be useful to test the extent to which your children are keeping pace with the pace of the core. Make decisions about exactly which assessments to use,
for which children, and when. Make decisions about exactly which assessments to omit
and why.

Gather your instructional resources.
Once you know what assessments you have in your core, gather others together from your professional books; we proposed a checklist

Consider your children’s needs. Given your screening data, you will know that
some portion of children are likely at benchmark, some are just below grade level, and some are well below grade level.
For children at benchmark, you can decide to focus small-group time on fluency and comprehension or on vocabulary and comprehension.
Only the below-grade-level children need additional assessments.

Word Recognition, continuedDeficit Revealed by
ScreeningNext Steps …
Sight Vocabulary • Screen in phonics
• Plan needs-based sight word instruction
based on words inventoried
Phonics • Screen in phonological awareness
• If there is a problem in phonological
awareness, do not group for phonics.
• Give phonics inventory to determine
specific deficits
• Provide targeted phonics instruction
Phonological Awareness
• Give a phonological awareness
inventory
• Use the inventory to determine level of
awareness
• Provide instruction designed to bring
student to next level.

Sample Cases Involving Word Recognition
Let’s look at some cases that illustrate the Cognitive Model in the area of word recognition.
Don’t make them too complicated! They are simply intended to lead you quickly through the process of determining a child’s instructional needs.

Consider your children’s needs.
Make instructional groups. Differentiated groups will not be of equal
size – they will have similar needs. Your benchmark children may constitute
one group. Make additional groups with similar needs,
based on your new data.
![Page 64: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Consider your children’s needs.
Using the Cognitive Model of Reading Instruction (McKenna & Stahl, 2003), choose your focus for each group: Phonemic awareness and phonics Phonics and fluency Fluency and comprehension Vocabulary and comprehension
![Page 65: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Phonemic awareness and word recognition. These children still need to work on learning letter
names and sounds, and they are not yet able to segment phonemes automatically.
They will work on coordinated activities to manipulate phonemes, learn new letters and sounds and review letters previously taught.
They will work with letters and words during small-group time.
![Page 66: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Word recognition and fluency These children still need to work on decoding,
but they can segment and blend phonemes to read some words.
They will work on coordinated activities to learn new letter patterns and review patterns previously taught.
They will work with words and with phonic-focused texts during small-group time.
![Page 67: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Fluency and comprehension These children have relatively few decoding
problems, but they lack automaticity. They will work in a repeated reading format;
they may review particularly challenging words (for their pronunciation or their meaning), but they will use most of their time reading and rereading challenging leveled texts and discussing text meaning.
![Page 68: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Vocabulary and comprehension These children are at grade level in the areas of
decoding and fluency. They will extend what they know into new texts
and new text types. They will write in response to reading.
![Page 69: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Consider your children’s needs. Choose instructional strategies from the
scientific literature in each of the two target areas for each group. These strategies should be simple to implement
repetitively. These strategies should be adequate to use for
daily instruction for three weeks.
![Page 70: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Consider your children’s needs.
Plan three week’s instruction for each of your groups. Gather manipulatives. Make word lists. Select texts.
![Page 71: Planning Differentiated Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna University of Virginia.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e385503460f94b295da/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Try it out!If you are going to differentiate, you have to be
flexible. Make a plan and give it time to unfold. Evaluate your own implementation of the plan. Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan in
addressing the needs of each child in each group.
Start again for another three weeks!

The Big Picture It is essential to keep the big picture in mind
as you plan for small groups. The following slides show how small-group
planning is nested within your overall planning for the block.
These examples come from Differentiated Reading Instruction.

Our goal
We have designed this year’s professional development plan so that coaches work with teachers to increase the effectiveness of differentiated instruction.
We will provide you guidance and activities; you need to make time for planning and implementing these small groups.
