Non-Fiction Reading Skills

Step 3: Identify the Correct Level for Each Student

• Use test scores and classroom performance to determine the most effective level for each child to work.

• Assign each student the level of article most appropriate for that individual student. All students can read about the same story and practice the same skills using reading materials that are at their own level so they are able to learn more (See Zone of Proximal Development)

• Be flexible. If a student is struggling or needs more of a challenge, adjust his/her assigned work accordingly.
