About READ 180
Welcome to READ 180. The Reading Lab will be both fun and challenging. The purpose of this course is to aid struggling readers in the areas of comprehension, fluency, writing, and test-taking strategies. Students will gain a greater understanding of the reading and writing processes, and by doing so, will understand more of what they read and at a deeper level. The reading lab gives help and extra support to those students who may struggle with reading or writing.
The reading lab will be using a program called READ180 by Scholastic. There are three parts to the program that your child will be participating in: small group instruction led by the teacher, independent and modeled reading, and the Read 180 software program on the computer. Each day, the students will spend 20 minutes doing whole group instruction, and then 20 minutes at each of the stations previously listed, then they will come back together at the end of class for a 10 minute wrap-up. I am very excited to be using Read 180 because it is a very structured program that has been proven to raise reading levels in even the most challenging of cases.
