The article proposes for consideration the problem of using creative works as an effective way to implement an individually differentiated approach in teaching successful younger schoolchildren. The author relies on the idea that difficulties in the learning process can occur in children who demonstrate different levels of educational activity, in particular, also in excellent schoolchildren and "good schoolchildren", therefore, providing them with different levels of creative tasks allows for the successful prospective intellectual and creative development of such schoolchildren. Examples of the use of differentiated creative tasks in the lessons of the Russian language and literary reading are given.
