Sample Lessons and Additional Resources
In Grades 3-5, reading shifts from learning to read to reading to learn, writing demands increase, and math concepts become more complex. This can be a challenging time for some, but for a student with learning struggles or a student with an Individualized Education Services Plan (IESP), this can impact their confidence as learners. The resources for Grades 3-5 are intended to highlight best practices and provide suggested accommodations and modifications for students with diverse learning needs in order to meet the NYS Standards and become lifelong readers and writers.

The sample lesson plans presented for in-class and hybrid instruction were designed using the Gradual Release model. The purpose of the samples is to highlight possible accommodations, modifications and UDL strategies to support all students-including with Individualized Education Service Plans (IESP) and/or students who demonstrate learning challenges during each component of the lessons. Also indicated are possible digital tools to be used during the hybrid lesson.
