Product Integration - Weekly Usage Recommendations:
Student Usage: 60-100 minutes per week
Student Progression: iRead provides a systematic sequence of explicit, recursive instruction with mastery-based interactive practice. Brief videos (30 seconds to one minute in length on average) use direct instruction to introduce new skills and concepts, often including the use of songs. Following the videos, engaging, interactive, game-like activities offer students ample opportunities to practice the new skills and apply them to reading. Practice continues, with guided practice activities that offer instructive collective feedback, until students have mastered the skills. All instructional activities are aligned with rigorous state standards.
Teacher Engagement: iRead provides materials for whole- and small-group foundational reading instruction as a supplement to a core reading program. The iRead Professional Guide includes instructional routines that present step-by-step instruction for essential skills in the following skill areas: Phonological Awareness, Alphabet Knowledge and the Alphabetic Principle, Decoding and Spelling, Word Analysis, Sight Words, Language and Vocabulary, Print Concepts, Fluency, and Student Engagement.
