  Case: How would you handle varied reading abilities in the content areas?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would say that students who are stronger readers could be paired with students who struggle during certain activities. I would also provide independent reading activities so that students can read at their own pace. Implementing different leveled texts may be a good idea too.

Comments: This is a good solution due to its originality. A common idea and answer would include finding out the students lexile scores and helping them find books. However, your solution encourages group work to help the students learn within a group setting.
