Save time! Use parent pre-testing …
Here’s an alternative method to differentiating your Mastery Learning Folder content. Based on your classroom learning, send home with each student a flashcard sheet and ask parents to cut out and pre-test their child. Here’s some instructions designed to fit in the spare row of pockets in the folder:

Mastery Learning Folder Parent Note
You’ll find this note handy if you’re introducing Mastery Learning Folder homework to parents for the first time. I would also recommend giving a folder demonstration at your start of year parent meeting. If this isn’t possible, you can direct them to this video. The note is in Word format so you can modify the contents to suit your situation.

Student Recording Chart
A fantastic way for students to see their progress is for them to chart the number of flashcards that they have learnt each week. After testing, they record (or colour-in) their chart to show how many cards have reached the Mastered! pocket. The only cards that reach the final pocket are the ones they have got correct so the amount is always increasing and the sees a visual representation of their achievement. Very motivating!
If you have a great chart template please share!
