Board hears progress report on Read 180 intervention and plans to expand
Summary
Administrators reported early positive gains from Read 180 interventions and proposed expansion of pull‑out classes for upper elementary and middle grades, citing targeted app-based instruction plus small‑group coaching.
Administrators reported that the Read 180 intervention, used at middle and high school special‑education settings this year, has shown promising early growth and will expand next year.
S7 described Read 180 as a three‑part instructional model combining an adaptive app, independent leveled reading and teacher‑led small‑group instruction. The district began the program in November and said they have seen measurable improvements; S7 said the program pulls NWEA data to target skills and uses teacher verification assessments to place students appropriately.
For 2026–27 the district plans two intensive pull‑out classes (one for grades 5–6 and one for grades 7–8) and additional grade‑level sections to cycle students through targeted interventions. Presenters emphasized that teachers will monitor students closely and supplement the app with offline resources and teacher‑led instruction rather than leaving students "hands off."
