System 44 Rotations

Whole-Group Learning

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

discussion. Students engage in Module 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 System 44 Student Application, following a personalized path that accelerates learning. The adaptive technology adjusts content and pacing based on performance to individualize instruction for each student. Students use the Software to master the 26 letters and 44 sounds in the English language, decode multisyllabic words, build automaticity and fluency, apply comprehension and vocabulary skills, and write evidence-based summaries.

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.
