About+the+Program

Read 180  Read 180 is a research-based, intense reading intervention. The program is based on a 90 minute model.

There are several components to Read 180 that are designed to help students interact with the text, build prior knowledge, develop vocabulary and fluency, and increase comprehension:


 * Software to build skills and provide practice in essential areas such as reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, phonics, and spelling. Students will get to work on the computer with individualized, interactive software that is based on each student's needs.
 * Audiobooks to allow students to read along with the help of a narrator and reading coach, who model strategies used by successful readers.
 * Paperbacks to allow students to select books to read independently. Students will have access to appropriate level, high-interest books.
