USING READY4READING
Meeting Students' Needs The backbone of Ready4Reading instruction is a robust scope and sequence that grounds all learning and progresses from simple to more complex sounds and spellings. The materials empower the system with an unparalleled capacity for differentiation. Assessing Students' Needs The mix of print and digital assessments, in combination with teachers’ observations of student performance during teacher-led instruction and independent practice and application of decoding skills, helps teachers diagnose students’ strengths and needs. Point-of-use supports and differentiation strategies in every lesson help teachers personalize instruction for multilingual learners, students who speak with language variation, as well as advanced and striving readers. Ready4Reading’s equitable instruction and blended learning model help teachers respond to the needs of all students. Ready4Reading and MTSS/RTI Frameworks Ready4Reading is a research-based system designed for the whole class (Tier 1), including students at risk and those who require early intervention (Tier 2).
Tier 2: Small-Group Interventions Students in Tier 2 still participate in whole-class lessons with the rest of the class. However, they may require more targeted support through small- group instruction. Teachers monitor progress using data and reporting to determine mastery-based pacing for each student. Because all classrooms, regardless of grade level, receive materials that cover the full Ready4Reading scope and sequence, teachers have the materials they need to deliver daily Tier 2 instruction for students in small groups or one-to-one.
Tier 1: Whole-Class Learning Ready4Reading’s evidence- based framework systematically builds foundational skills for all students in the general education classroom. Students acquire the building blocks of reading and writing through daily, explicit and comprehensive instruction across whole and small groups, combined with frequent opportunities for independent practice and skills application. Teachers use data and assessment to monitor student progress and identify learners in need of more explicit instruction.
Teacher supports include: comprehensive lessons that follow research-based instructional routines and offer point-of-use supports for differentiating daily instruction. take-home materials for families. assessment, data, and reporting to support mastery-based pacing. professional learning sessions and additional learning through Scholastic webinars and professional resources.
