Pre-Teaching of Information
READ 180 scaffolds student learning by presenting background content information and vocabulary before students begin to read. Anchor Videos provide striving readers with mental models on which to build their learning. The pre-teaching of vocabulary words ensures students will not miss entire passages for lacking a few critical words. Finally, ELLs, and all striving readers, are supported through the narrow reading passages. Groupings of increasingly difficult texts on the same topic help students build on knowledge to successfully access more difficult texts. These groupings also present recursive vocabulary helping students gain mastery.

Narrow readings within each Workshop build background so students can construct meaning from increasingly difficult text.
