There is the Mosdos literature series, which you might want to research using. 

I teach fifth grade and have developed a multilevel curriculum using secular books, which I've screened very carefully for appropriateness on all levels, but the program can very easily be adapted so it only uses "heimish" reading materials.  Let me  know if you want more information, and we can be in touch.

Is there a programme to teach reading using "haimishe" Material?

I've been reading about DI for some time.  What frustrates implementation is trying it all at once, which leads to frustration.  At our school, certain teachers are moving towards DI in gradual steps.  Here is what they say works...

1) Make "Anchor Activities".  These are specific activities which a student can work on independently.  Examples might include
    - Enrichment worksheets
    - A Rashi workpage page with accompanying translation, explanation and questions.
    - Flashcard games (like matching Heb-Eng of a certain pasuk)
    - Chavrusa with a specific goal (look at psukim 1-15 and write down how many times you see the shoresh "XYZ", or prefix "Q")
    - Make a project depicting one of the highlights of Chayei Sarah (the scales and shekalim, the cave, Sarah's tent) and write the pasuk to which it refers, for display.

The key is that the student has something to do INDEPENDENTLY, so the teacher can begin to focus on other students.

2) The key to making the "Anchor" activities work, is taking the time to teach the kids the routine, and practicing with them until it becomes a routine.

Establishing anchors just gives the teacher more time to breath and the freedom to think more about the kids' needs.

In order to differentiate instruction, the teacher has to decide
a) what material is core, necessary for every student, what is "need to know",
b) and what material is "nice to know"

This presuposes that the teacher, or beter yet, the school has decided what are the "standards" for their Chumash or Gemara curriculum.  Every state website has its own state standards of what kids need to know for math, reading etc. by the end of 2nd grade, 3rd grade, etc.  The teacher/school needs to decide this as well.

If a teacher's goal is to learn Bereshis 37:1-12, how can he/she differentiate?  That's just a list of psukim.  Lists of psukim are not goals or standards.  Skills are goals.  If the goal were, "the student will be able to identify and translate the prefixes XYZ", then the teacher would be able to differentiate.  How?  by skipping psukim in order to focus on skills for those weaker students.  Or... by focusing on skills and assigning extra psukim for the stronger students.

The starting point for DI is knowing what kids "need to know" before we start.

But to what extent do schools and teachers have discussions about what kids need to know in Chumash, Mishna, Gemara etc.?

I agree that you need to work on bullying from two sides. the first is a zero tolerance. The second and this is not always done is to build community in our school that supports every child, and provide a sense of responsibility to each other. Children also need role models who not only talk the talk but walk the walk.

In my school they do not allow football during break. I want to hear from other teachers what they do by break and what they allow.

I struggled for a way to do it in my 6th grade Gemara class because they are lacking so many basic skills, however I found that in my afternoon 3rd grade I was able to make a differentiated lesson for Chumash. I would divide them into 3 groups and have them work on a series of Chumash activities. Then I would circle around to each group and give them a mini lesson according to their abilities.

While there is much talk about differentiated instruction in English studies, many more traditional mechanchim find it difficult to adapt higher level Chumash and Gemara studies to different levels.  Does anybody have any ideas about how to do this?
