Differentiating instruction requires careful planning to provide engaging materials and activities that support struggling readers while also challenging advanced students. Additionally, balancing curriculum standards with student interests and integrating technology for varied learning styles can be demanding.

Familiarity with curriculum design software, literacy assessment tools, and classroom management platforms is typically required. Strong communication, patience, and the ability to inspire and engage students are critical soft skills in this role. These competencies are essential for fostering literacy development, promoting student achievement, and maintaining a productive classroom environment.
