Read 180

The Read 180 program, created by Scholastic, Inc., is intended to help students along the path to literacy success. Read 180 combines research based practices of reading instruction with the most effective use of technology in the classroom. The program is designed to teach the fundamental reading skills of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.

The Read 180 model consists of a 90-minute block of instruction delivered and managed by the classroom teacher. A session typically begins with a 20-minute period of whole group instruction, then students rotate through three different stations at which they spend 20 minutes each, receiving small group instruction, working at computers on the Read 180 software, and reading or writing independently. This is followed by a wrap-up session of whole group instruction. ALT currently holds 60 licenses for this program which will allow our lowest performing readers access to this literacy model.
