Summary/Abstract: The article explores one of the important teaching strategies for all children, especially children with special educational needs – scaffolding, which accelerates learning how to solve problems. This metaphor was suggested by an American psychologist, educator Jerome Bruner and his colleagues to describe the process of teaching a child in the zone of proximal development, according to the theory of L.S. Vygotsky. It has been clarified that scaffolding has much in common with differentiation, but these two approaches have some peculiarities. They can be combined to achieve goals better. In the process of research, considered the types of scaffolding, their features and strategies for practical application. As a result, tips were provided in the scope of successful use of scaffolding in the classroom.
