The SYSTEM 44 Model for Blended Learning

The SYSTEM 44 Model for Blended Learning is based on over 15 years of research and results and provides flexible instruction that complements district scheduling needs and maximizes the number of students served.

  • Whole-Group Instruction

    Teachers begin the class by facilitating systematic instruction in reading skills and strategies, academic vocabulary, writing, and grammar to the whole class.

  • Station Rotations

  • Instructional Technology

    Students work independently on the SYSTEM 44 Software where they follow an individualized learning path that allows them to work within their zone of proximal development.

  • Small Group

    Students receive individualized, data-driven instruction that meets their unique learning needs while building meaningful relationships with their teacher.

  • Independent Reading

    Students engage with complex, content-rich literature and informational texts that they can read with success and apply their newly acquired vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Stand-Alone

Students engage with their teachers in Whole-Group Instruction daily and participate in all three station rotations (Small-Group Learning, Instructional Technology, and Modeled & Independent Reading) over two days.

*Scholastic recommends that students receive an additional period of core literacy instruction in addition to a single period of READ 180.

A Seamless Integration with READ 180

System 44 was designed to integrate seamlessly into a READ 180 classroom. Whether using a Single Period, Extended Single Period, or Double Period instructional model, educators can equally support both their READ 180 and System 44 students in a single classroom.

Extended Single Period Case Study See it in Action

  • Whole-Group Instruction (10–20 minutes)

  • Complete Three Station-Rotations (18–23 minutes each)

*Scholastic recommends that students receive an additional period of core literacy instruction in addition to a single period of READ 180.

Double Period

Students begin with Whole-Group Instruction, then engage each of the three station rotations (Small-Group Learning, Instructional Technology, and Modeled & Independent Reading), and end the class period with Whole-Group Wrap-Up.

  • Whole-Group Instruction (15–20 minutes)

  • Complete Three Station-Rotations (20 minutes each)
