Importance“The foundation for success in school and in life is literacy-

and without that fundamental skill, students will always struggle in the pursuit of their dreams.”

“From dashboard rich with data and resources, to new content, to writing instruction that aligns to the Common Core, READ 180 Next Generation will help students take ownership of their learning, help teachers use data to differentiate their instruction and help school and district leaders track the progress of students, classrooms and schools. All of these enhancements will help to accelerate learning of these at risk students and put them on the path to success.”

Margery Mayer President of Scholastic Education

Element of Literacy: Comprehension

“22 percent of students made the equivalent of two years’ worth of growth in reading, and nearly 50 percent of students made the equivalent of at least a year’s worth of growth.”

Anchor videos help struggling readers build schema and background knowledge to understand academic text.

Direct instruction in essential comprehension skills and strategies, such as sequencing, main idea/detail, summarizing, and cause and effect.
