The child is now in a better position to process the information and apply their newly acquired knowledge to everyday life.
Devising such activities, in which the task rather than the content is differentiated, requires us to identify what the child’s strengths are and where the learning gaps lie. Only then can our learners be given a meaningful learning experience, enabling them to move forward at a pace and in a way which is appropriate to them.
