Differentiating With Scholastic Art

Customize instruction to meet the needs of all your learners with Scholastic Art’s many differentiation tools, including knowledge-building videos with closed-captioning, leveled texts, and much more. With Scholastic Art’s resources, your students will get the support they need to master their skills and push their creativity.

Videos

Instantly capture students’ attention with engaging, ad-free videos that include the option for closed captioning. Videos with background information make for great prereading activities for building essential knowledge on topics covered in the magazine.

Leveled Texts

Every feature article in Scholastic Art is available at two reading levels (grades 7-12 and grades 4-6). Select the article you want to read. If the article has multiple reading levels, the options will appear in the toolbar on the left. Choose the preferred level. The Text-to-Speech tool can also be used to read either level aloud. Learn more about Text-to-Speech. 

Text-to-Speech

Scholastic Art offers an audio Text-to-Speech tool to assist students in their reading. When a user activates Text-to-Speech, an automated voice reads the article aloud. Each word is highlighted as it is read, and students can control the speed of the reading. Learn more about Text-to-Speech.

Skills Sheets

Reinforce skills with our standards-aligned skills sheets, which provide a variety of support for different learners. They are easy to print or assign through Google Classroom or other learning management systems. Learn more about our skills activities. 

Differentiated Lesson Plans

Each issue of Scholastic Art comes with two sets of lesson plans: one for students in grades 7-12 and one for students in grades 4-6. Each set of lesson plans is tailored to its grade level to supplement the feature articles. It also lists the related skills sheets.

Annotation Tools

Digital formats of Scholastic Art are available with annotation tools, such as highlighting, sticky-noting, and spotlighting. These tools allow students to pace themselves as they read and chunk portions of the text to focus on, allowing them to increase their understanding and retention of big ideas in the text.
