Description
Too many below-grade-level students struggle academically because they are unable to comprehend expository text. For students with deficient reading skills, learning content is simply out of their reach. Based on Jim's best-selling book, Differentiating Textbooks, this workshop will provide you with dozens of classroom-tested strategies for modifying textbooks and making them more accessible for the wide range of learners in your classroom. No longer will expository textbooks be a learning barrier for struggling students.
