READ 180 Enterprise Edition

READ 180 Enterprise Edition is a literacy intervention curriculum designed for middle school students (grades 6-8) reading 2 or more years below grade level. The program replaces the core language arts curriculum for targeted students in treatment schools. READ 180 uses a 90-minute instructional block that includes whole-group instruction (20 minutes), three 20-minute small-group rotations (small-group instruction with teacher, independent reading with leveled paperbacks and audio support, and adaptive instructional software), and a 10-minute wrap-up. Classes are limited to no more than 21 students. The program includes ongoing assessment through the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) administered at least 3 times per year, with data managed through the Scholastic Achievement Manager (SAM) system. Teachers receive initial training from Scholastic (varying from 1-3 days depending on year) and ongoing support from district Resource Teacher Coordinators (RTCs) through in-school coaching visits.
