Software Overview

At the heart of System 44 is state-of-the-art adaptive software that delivers direct, systematic, research-based phonics instruction to students. Multiple points of entry allow students to work at the appropriate level based on their performance on the Scholastic Phonics Inventory (SPI).

System 44
is organized around four instructional strands: The Code, Word Strategies, Sight Words and Success. Students are guided to mastery through four zones that present instruction and practice that systematically develop reading skills. These are the Smart Zone, the Word Zone, the Spelling Zone and the Fluency Zone.
“We can meet that student at their individual level. That’s the power of technology. We can give them what they need, when they need it, as long as they need it until they are successful…”
