Differentiated literacy instruction and its effect on students' reading comprehension

MS Ed: Teaching Literacy

In today's diverse school systems throughout the United States, different types of students are constantly grouped together in classrooms. Many students have different levels of ability as well as different learning styles. With the pressure of standardized testing and curriculum goals, teachers may feel forced to design instruction based on what students will be tested on rather than being able to incorporate students' interests into lesson planning. This study tested students' performance while students' were placed in their reading groups and the teacher chose the book for them versus students' performance in interest groups where they were able to select a text for themselves.
