-------- READ 180 Overview
There are several components of the READ 180 program including:
· Software to build skills and provide practice in essential areas such as reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, phonics, and spelling.
· 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.
All of these components will help build the skills to become a successful reader.
Additionally, studies show that the program also improves a student’s motivation and desire to succeed.

The Lexile Framework for Reading is a scale for measuring a student’s reading level. This helps teachers place students in the READ 180 program, match students to books for independent reading, and track each student’s growth. The chart to the right provides a grid representing an approximate Lexile Level range for each grade. For example, students in Grade 2 generally read books with a Lexile Range between 300L and 500L. |
