differentiated instruction for students with different abilities. you might have groups. each group has a different activity yet they are learning the same thing. Do a search and you can get some more ideas.

Differentiated instruction based on the needs of the students...
For example in Kindergarten in writing depending on what level they on is what mini lesson they are working on. whether beginning sounds, ending sounds, finger spacing etc.
Hope that helps. Any other questions feel free to ask...:)

differentiate instruction, appeal to different learning styles, visual, auditory, multisensory, hands on etc, have guided reading groups so you can work on specific skills with children of different abilities, pair higher and lower ability students together so the students can help each other, have stations in your classroom during certain lessons so that you have time to meet with students individually

Re: For all teachers out there... NWR
I would start by discussing how I would use assessment to drive instruction (ongoing, formal and informal). With 'No Child Left Behind' data requirements, they'll love that. Also, I'd include getting as much info as possible from previous teachers and parents regarding the child's likes, dislikes, strengths and areas of need. This will give you a better understanding of the child's learning styles (and the child as a whole) so that you can then differentiate instruction in an efficient manner. Remember to discuss how this can be used across the content areas (guided reading groups, literacy and math centers, workshop model, etc)
