This course begins with a focus on understanding the failure cycle that the struggling reader experiences, and learning how to use READ 180 as a motivator to stop that cycle. Intended for use by both new and experienced READ 180 teachers, the course includes information on how to get started and manage a READ 180 classroom, as well video modeling of research-based teaching techniques, guidelines for using the Software, and instruction on how to use READ 180 assessment tools to differentiate instruction. Throughout this course, teachers will also learn how to use READ 180 materials to provide systematic, explicit instruction in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing to meet state standards and to raise student achievement in reading.
