Over the course of the semester, my CT and I worked on differentiating our literacy instruction. Specifically we established differentiation through the Daily Five. To to this, we had students working at their own levels in reading and writing. For vocabulary acquisition, the students would work from a list of high frequency or sight words that were based on their level that we determined by having them read them aloud one on one. Several times a week when the students worked in the word work center they would write five sight words, read them aloud and then would do an activity (creating the words using stampers, play dough, or magnets, rainbow roll and write, roll a sight word, etc.)
We noticed that after a few weeks of implementation that the students we saw students sight word scores improve. The students were all able to do activities that they enjoy at their own level and were benefitting from it.
