Victoria! I think by using a balanced approach to literacy, you can differentiate your instruction, while meeting the needs your various student groups. Be sure to include a lot of word study, and comprehension instruction, using all kinds of text/genres. For your guided reading groups I would using recommend instructional-leveled text. Taking ORAs and running records are important for monitoring student progress. If you're using a specific reading program (e.g. McMillan-McGraw) there will be a lot of ideas and activities. Good luck and have fun in 2nd grade! Mary
