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. Whether they’re striving or thriving, your students will get the support they need with these powerful resources.

Videos

Instantly capture students’ attention with engaging, ad-free videos that include the option for closed-captioning. Background videos make 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 4-6 and grades 7-12). 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.

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. To learn more, click here.

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. For more information about skills sheets, click here.

Differentiated Lesson Plans

Each issue of Scholastic Art comes with two sets of lesson plans: one for students in grades 4-6 and one for students in grades 7-12. Each set of lesson plans is tailored to its grade level to supplement the feature articles. It also lists the related skills sheets. In addition, the Digital Resource Guide for grades 4-6 features two elementary-level hands-on activities and discussion and summary questions to assess students’ understanding.
