This last week at school, I had a great time with the students. I worked for about an hour doing cold and hot reads with the children. One way the teacher makes modifications for the children who are exceptional is by letting them advance in the reading selections, so they are reading stories that are more of a challenge for them. That way they don't get bored, and are able to increase their knowledge at a faster pace then the other children.
Another way is by the homework the teacher sends. I put together packets for the children, and there were three different types: A, B, and C. Each packet was a different level of difficulty. The teacher knows which children are exceptional and gives them the more difficult packet to the kids who can handle it.
I can think of many different modifications made for those who are struggling. I think its great that there isn't a one-size-fits-all curriculum for the children. Each child learns differently, and has various strengths and weaknesses.
