The READ 180 Instructional Model
A typical READ 180 session begins with the whole class working together with the teacher. Then, the class breaks up into small groups. Each group takes a turn reading independently, working independently on computers or tablets and working together in teacher-led small groups. At the end of the session, the whole class comes together again, with the teacher, to wrap up the day.
WHOLE-GROUP INSTRUCTION:
The teacher works with the whole class on reading skills and strategies, vocabulary, writing, and grammar.
Students work independently on the new Student App on computers or tablets, following a personalized path that enhances their learning.
Students have their choice of reading paperbacks, digital books, or listening to an audiobook.
SMALL-GROUP LEARNING:
Students receive targeted, data-driven instruction unique to their individual needs while building relationships with their teachers.
Instructional Technology
Students work independently on the software and receive intensive, individualized reading instruction and skills practice.
Students build fluency and reading comprehension through modeled and independent reading.
Small-Group Instruction
Teachers present targeted small-group differentiated instruction based on data-driven reports.
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) empowers Special Education and English Learning students.
Leveled Independent Reading eBooks allow students to experience frequent success with reading, supported by tools like the text-to-speech feature and a digital dictionary.
Book conferences, together with collaboration and presentation projects, give students an opportunity to practice their oral language skills.
Language supports in the Student Application, including captioning, Spanish translations, and multilingual parent materials, help students and their families understand content and increase English proficiency.
