15. How Might I Differentiate This Strategy? Differentiate Reading Materials Encourage Rereading passages Allow students to choose high interest materials for paired reading Allow students to read from different texts during the reading activity. Have one partner occasionally ask comprehension questions. Adjust partners as students improve so students have opportunity to be in the “modeling” role.
