I can see using AI as a tool to help blend my reading and writing curriculum into meaningful review activities that are built around differentiation. In my classroom, many of our literacy skills naturally connect. For example, identifying the main idea and supporting details in reading directly supports students when they are organizing their writing. AI can help me intentionally design activities that strengthen both areas at the same time.
For instance, I could use AI to generate a nonfiction passage with a clearly stated main idea and strong supporting details. After students identify those elements in the reading, they could transition into writing by creating their own paragraph modeled after the structure of the text. AI could also create leveled versions of the same passage so that all students are working on the same skill, but at an appropriate level of complexity. This supports differentiation without requiring me to create multiple texts from scratch.
