Looking for a structured, differentiated station system that helps middle school ESL students build reading skills and academic vocabulary while working independently?
This Technology Over Time ESL Reading Stations set uses informational text and cause-and-effect structures to develop reading comprehension and vocabulary and includes 10 ready-to-use language and literacy stations, each with three differentiated levels to support mixed-level ESL classrooms using consistent station routines in grades 6-8.
These stations are ideal for station rotations, literacy centers, small groups, or ongoing language practice throughout the year.
This station set is included in the Year-Long Stations Bundle
⭐ WHAT’S INCLUDED
Step-by-step setup video (walks you through exactly how to implement)
Station folder labels for easy organization
10 print-only ESL stations
Student handouts for all station
Teacher directions for every station
Answer keys included
Everything is ready to print and use — no extra planning required.
⭐ DIFFERENTIATED FOR ESL STUDENTS
Each station includes three differentiated levels so students at different language proficiency levels can work on the same skill using the same routine.
Level 1: More support and scaffolds
Level 2: Guided language practice
Level 3: Increased independence and language output
This makes it easy to manage mixed-level ESL classrooms without creating separate activities

Students rotate through a variety of structured station activities, including:
Read & Reflect
Write & Respond
Speak It Out
Watch & Learn
Word Work
Grammar Fix
Sort & Match

⭐ SKILLS & STANDARDS COVERED

⭐ PERFECT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL

Create predictable classroom systems
Save time during the busiest part of the year
Once routines are set, the stations can be reused all year long.
