I was introduced to UDL as a way to make digital texts, worksheets, and other materials accessible to students with disabilities. Things like font choices and using screen-reader-friendly organization. A month ago I went to a teacher conference and did some sessions on UDL. To my surprise, it was all about how providing choice and doing jigsaw reading was so much more interesting than teacher-led reading! In the lesson the teacher demo'd, any students with hearing differences, auditory processing difficulties, low reading level, etc would have been totally lost, nevermind EL students or anyone else who needed vocabulary, reading, or writing help.
