Differentiated application of these routines—with fun multi-modal games and variations—for students working on- below-, and above grade-level expectations, and for multilingual learners Guidelines for creating skills-based small groups for more intensive work "Look-fors" for teachers and supervisors, to know when instruction is working or needs to be adjusted Several reproducible phonics and spelling assessments for placement, progress monitoring, and formative assessments to keep every learner growing as readers and writers.
