Rice Lake High School Reading Program

Link to December 30 The Chronotype post, "Read 180 turns students around".

Excerpt:

Read 180 was implemented at High School last year. It is a 90-minute instructional model using whole group instruction, small group/individual instruction, instructional software and independent reading.

The Read 180 software is made up of four components - reading zone, word zone, spelling zone and success zone.

In the reading zone, students watch a video that helps them picture a mental model of what they read. In the word zone students build word recognition and increase fluency. In the spelling zone students practice spelling. And in the success zone students apply comprehension and vocabulary strategies and make a final audio recording to demonstrate mastery of the passage they read.
