Does anyone have articles that are similar in unit 1 for the project, that are easier to read for students at a lower reading level than grade level? I have a few students in my CSP course that are below reading level for these articles, but I want them to get the same gist and do a project over it.
Hi @katy.fleming,
I agree that leveled reading is a really important differentiation technique to help all students engage with the content. I do not personally have leveled articles, but I hope someone has some to share with you! In the meantime I might try one (or both) of the following:
-
Leverage all one of the NLP Generative AI tools out there by feeding in the text and asking for it to create a version that is at 3 different reading levels (perhaps giving a grade band). (Or, if your school supports student use of gen AI, show the students how to do this step.)
-
Instead of using the provided guides for marking up an article, create an intentional note catcher to go with the articles. I usually find inspiration by googling “differentiated article worksheet” or “Article synthesis notecatcher”.
If you end up coming up with a set, I’m sure people on this forum would appreciate using them in the future.
