I got this book at a seminar on differentiating instruction and am glad that I did. It has ideas and activities for grades 4-12. I was able to read it quickly, due to its quick-access format. Included are 87 pages of great ideas on grouping, adapting textbooks, prereading, during reading modifications, and after-reading activities. Following this section are 38 pages of reproducibles. I plan to use strategies from this book immediately in my middle school classes. This is a great resource if you want to “teach the student, not the textbook.”
