While many students have demonstrated that they have met or exceeded reading and writing objectives, these students often complete the same lessons and assignments as their peers. The goal for this session is to explore strategies and lesson ideas to support highly able middle grade readers and writers to escalate their abilities. Sample learning experiences, suggested literature, and teaching suggestions that capitalize on the capacities of Web 2.0 are shared to model high level differentiated curriculum for these verbally talented students. The goal of this session is to create an environment that supports lifetime readers and writers.
