Where Do You Start?
Each daily lesson begins with Fluency instruction designed to improve students’ reading pace, accuracy and expression. Students then progress to a Targeted Word Study lesson, incorporating such skills as word study, spelling, passage reading and comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary.

Students Have Fun While They Learn
Later in the day, students are grouped into three learning teams based on their reading levels as determined by the VIP assessment, a highly predictive measure of literacy skills that is completely equivalent to DIBELS™. Students complete activities independently and in small groups while rotating through two learning stations and the teaching station. Teachers are able to differentiate instruction as they work with small, same-ability groups at two levels of difficulty: Challenge Level A or Challenge Level B. These Challenge lessons are composed of several segments:

	Fluency
	Instructional Reading
	Phonological Awareness (K-3)
	Alphabetic Principle (K-3)
	Decoding and Word Recognition (4-9)
	Word Analysis and Spelling (4-9)

Daily Reading Improvement is the Key
Teachers may continue with additional response and practice activities allowing students to express themselves through writing and the creation of theme-related projects. To confirm students’ continued learning growth, teachers and administrators have the option to administer brief, ongoing progress monitoring assessments and view the results online.
