Differentiated Reading and Writing
If you're familiar with ReadWorks.org - you'll be happy to know that they've expanded to digitalreadworks.org with free high interest reading passages for students.
Use your current ReadWorks account or create a new one. Create a class, and assign reading passages to students. After reading, students answer comprehension questions and add to their Knowledge Board with a written response. This is an impressive tool to add to your reading and writing routines in your classroom.
