READ 180

OVERVIEW

READ 180 is a comprehensive reading intervention program designed to meet the needs of students in elementary through high school whose reading achievement is below the proficient level. Three Stages of Instruction include Stage A targeting elementary students, Stage B targeting middle school students, and Stage C targeting high school students.

Read 180 is based on the work of Dr. Ted Hasselbring at Vanderbilt and Janet Allen, who writes extensively on teaching. The instructional design of the program is based on the use of technology to enhance learning for students with mild disabilities

STUDENT ASSESSMENT

The Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) is used to place students and monitor progress. The software tracks the individual student’s results on each of the computer drills. Assessment is built into each of the skills activities. A Scholastic Management Suite provides immediate, continuous feedback to teachers for progress monitoring on skills activity results. The program offers six different categories of reports, including progress, diagnostic, instructional planning,, problem alerts, school-to-home, and management reports. Ongoing assessment is an integral part of the program. This assessment is done almost exclusively via the READ 180 software, which then adjusts the level of instruction accordingly.
