District expands Read180 reading intervention after positive initial results
Summary
District staff reported growth from Read180 pilots and outlined plans to expand pull‑out classes and grade‑level sections at middle and high school next year to target students at least one grade level behind.
District curriculum staff told the board that Read180 — a targeted reading intervention used this year primarily with special education students — has shown positive early growth since rollout in November. The program combines individualized app work with small‑group teacher instruction and teacher‑monitored rotations.
"We have seen really positive growth," the presenter said, and the district plans to expand Read180 next year with dedicated pull‑out classes for grades 5–6 and 7–8 and additional grade‑level, in‑class support. Presenters emphasized that the model includes teacher monitoring, offline resources and a writing and fluency component so it is not a hands‑off, app‑only approach.
