WALTs and follow up Explain Everything tasks

As a beginning teacher I have found selecting WALTs very difficult. Looking at progressions has been very helpful and now I am able to have specific learning areas that are taught in direct instruction. How does this affect my following up activities?

It's great when we are able to share all our resources with each other. However, by really focusing on the specific learning areas for my micro groups I was finding that some of the Explain Everything (EE) tasks were not tailored to the needs of the group.

In one particular micro group I was looking at speech marks and sequencing which wasn't covered by the EE already made. I was also finding that the students in this particular group weren't able to read the instructions which was hindering their independence. I added in audio recordings which meant they were able to listen to the instructions and re-listen to them without having to be sitting next to the teacher. 

Where to next? Where do I have all the time to make these?!
