Ability Grouping That Works: Practical Steps for Real Results

Too many classrooms “teach to the middle,” leaving struggling readers behind and advanced readers unchallenged. Ability grouping changes that.

This practical guide gives you a straightforward framework to group students by skill, not grade — so every learner gets the right instruction at the right time.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

Place students using data-driven assessments that go beyond grade level
Design flexible groups that adjust as students master new skills
Protect daily instructional time by aligning schedules and staff
Keep transitions smooth with consistent routines across classrooms
