Hi Cara, One way to differentiate instruction is to teach from scrolls rather than books. Scrolls enable students to work together on the same text, despite learning differences. You can read more about them here: http://www.textmapping.org/whWorkshopNotes.html
Once you've read through the paper, follow the links. You'll find a fair amount of information -- hopefully enough to get you started.
