How to Differentiate Your Literacy Centers in Kindergarten

Kindergarteners tend to come in at different levels - some are still working on letter sounds, while others are already reading!
In this video, I share some activity ideas that will help you (easily!) differentiate your Kindergarten centers. I also explain what I do at the beginning of the school year, when not a lot of differentiation is practical.
The differentiated center materials come from my Kindergarten Literacy Club - our members get 5 brand-new sets of centers each month! We accept new members into the Kindergarten Literacy Club twice a year, but you can get on the waitlist anytime here:

this is very helpful. As a new teacher who's going to teach language and literacy, this is very insightful!

Do you feel like your students usually have a big range, medium range, or small range of skill levels? Type big, medium, or small in the comments!

My students come in at all levels

[@learningattheprimarypond]

@@toiyatsmith08 I think that's so common!! Do you feel like it's hard to support them all?

[@toiyatsmith08]

@@learningattheprimarypond Yes, with a targeted plan of action it has gotten better. When I can witness their growth, then I feel like I am making a difference.

Big range!

This video has been helpful for me to explain differentiation to my Kindergarten teachers. I feel as if teachers were overthinking how to differentiate for their students.
