Whole-Group Learning

Teacher facilitates instruction in close-reading strategies, vocabulary, writing, and academic

discussion. Students engage in Workshop lessons that accelerate the development of content-area knowledge by providing instructional support, motivating and engaging content, and experience with different text structures.

Small-Group Learning Students receive targeted, data ‐ driven instruction based on their individual learning needs while building meaningful relationships with their teachers. During Small ‐ Group Learning, students have opportunities to practice skills introduced during Whole ‐ Group Learning.

Student Application

Students work independently on the READ 180 Student Application, following a personalized path that accelerates learning. Students select Segments, or topics, of interest to them. They then complete learning experiences connected with these Segments that build content ‐ area knowledge and develop all areas of literacy, including comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and writing.

Independent Reading

Students have their choice of engaging, content ‐ rich texts to which they can apply their newly acquired vocabulary and comprehension skills. They use the Bookshelf on Student Central to search for paperbacks, audiobooks, eBooks, and eReads according to their interests, Lexile range, author, or keywords.
