Read 180 Rotations

Whole-Group Instruction:  During whole group instruction, students will participate in bellwork, Do Nows, journals, activities ,vocabulary,  discussions,  and fluency practice.

 Read 180  Software Rotation:  Students will use the Read 180 software independently on their Chromebooks. The software will provide the students with intensive, individualized skills practice. Students use topics on the computer to practice reading comprehension, spelling, proofreading and word attack skills.

Independent Reading Rotation: During this time, students will read from the leveled readers (e-books  ) provided in   Read 180 software . Online quizzes  must be completed after each book is  read by the student. ( Daily reading log, wrap-up exercise/study guide, final quiz  about the book )

Students read in class EVERY day. 

Students select books and chart their progress on a reading log. Writing activities accompany each book, and students complete them as they are reading. Students use the Reading Counts program to take quizzes on the computer. When a student completes a book and its writing activities, she/he takes a quiz to test knowledge of the book. 

Students must reread the book and retake the quiz if they score less than 70%.

Expectations:

1. Once you start a book, you need to finish it. Don’t skip around with the books, it only makes it harder on you. 

2. Make sure you are actively reading. Also, you must track the words in the audiobook as you listen. This will help improve your reading. Otherwise, you’re just
    using listening skills.

3. Once you finish a book, let the teacher know so you can take the test. You will have 3 opportunities to take and pass the test. If you do not pass it the first
    time, then reread the book and take the test again.
