Summary:
|
Mr. Charles Tippie, Coordinator of Educational Services, has been working with the Reading Intervention teachers to update and revise the following two courses: Reading Intervention A and Reading Intervention E. The names of the respective courses have been updated to: Reading Intervention - System 44 and Reading Intervention - Read 180.
Reading Intervention - Read 180 (previously titled Reading Intervention E)
Blended Learning Model:
Read 180 Universal features a flexible rotation model designed to help address students at all levels of intervention. This model organizes class time to provide a balance of teacher-led instruction, scaffolded practice, and small-group interaction. It is designed to maximize instructional time and accelerate achievement. Backed by more than 15 years of research and results, studies confirm that READ 180 effectively raises reading achievement when students experience all aspects of the rotation model of blended learning.
Whole group learning: Close-reading strategies, academic vocabulary, writing, and academic discussion;
Independent Reading: Student choice and engaging, content-rich texts, application of academic vocabulary and comprehension skills;
Small-group learning: Targeted data-driven instruction, relationship building;
Student Application: Independent application personalized to accelerate learning on a personalized path;
Whole group follow-up: Wrap up guides students to reflect on day’s learning, mindset, successes and challenges
Textbook Title: Real Book: Reading, Language, Learning; Edition: Stage C; Author: Various; Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; Publication Date: 2017; ISBN: 978-1-328-00337-9
Reading Intervention - System 44 (previously titled Reading Intervention A)
The Reading Intervention - System 44 course is designed for students in need of intensive reading intervention, specifically with a Lexile level below 600, and in need of phonics instruction. This is a foundational reading program for the most challenged readers in grades 7-12 and focuses on phonemic awareness, decoding strategies, mastering foundational reading skills and explicit instruction in comprehension and writing. This course is designed for a class of up to 25 students where the students use the software daily and alternate between small-group instruction and modeled-independent reading. This class is designed to be a 2-hour block class.
