Scholastic's System 44: Foundational Reading Program for Older Struggling Readers

System 44 is a foundational reading program intended for older struggling readers who have not mastered basic phonics and decoding skills. Combining researched-based phonics instruction with adaptive technology, System 44 is designed to improve students' word reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. The System 44 program delivers research-based instruction through an adaptive computer component; teacher-led small-group instruction; and individual student practice involving high-interest, leveled materials. Thus students who have not responded to classroom reading instruction may benefit from the more intensive and specific decoding instruction provided through System 44.
