📚 **Creating well-organised, differentiated literacy rotations**
🌟 Magnificent literacy rotations 🌟
When rotations are thoughtfully planned, they can create a structured environment where **every student is working at their level, with a clear purpose.**
✨ **Key considerations:**
🎯 **Differentiate the learning** — adjust tasks, texts, scaffolds and expectations to meet different learning needs.
👩🏫 **Prioritise teacher time** — use small-group rotations to provide targeted instruction, feedback and intervention.
📋 **Make expectations clear** — students should know exactly what to do, where to go and what success looks like.
🧩 **Build independence** — include familiar routines and activities students can complete without constant teacher support.
📖 **Use purposeful tasks** — every rotation should have a clear literacy goal rather than simply keeping students busy.
🔄 **Keep groups flexible** — change groups based on student progress and the skill being taught, rather than fixed ability labels.
⏱️ **Plan for smooth transitions** — consistent routines mean less time moving between activities and more time learning.
