Intervention: Adolescent illiteracy has become a national crisis. For the past five years, Scholastic has been at the forefront of responding to this crisis with its flagship program READ 180. Proven to raise reading scores, READ 180 is turning around the lives of struggling, older readers in over 5,000 classrooms across the country. Based on the research of Dr. Ted Hasselbring, this program has broken new ground in the use of technology to differentiate instruction. In response to widespread demand, READ180 has recently been expanded to offer educators an even greater array of topic software and literature. Scholastic Education also offers supplemental intervention products designed to help close the reading achievement gap. These products include: Read XL® , Scholastic Sprint Reading™ , Scholastic Summer School Reading Program , and Scholastic Action™Book Collections.

Beginning Reading/Prevention: Scholastic develops research-based, classroom-tested programs that emphasize the development of core reading skills: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. Recognizing that all readers are developing readers, Scholastic has created products that let you meet readers wherever they are on the reading continuum with materials designed to raise achievement including Scholastic Guided Reading Program , Scholastic Early Childhood Program , Fluency Formula®, Scholastic ReadingLine™, Trio , and Scholastic Phonics products.

Beginning Reading Technology: Over the last ten years, WiggleWorks® has become the gold standard in beginning reading technology for Grades K-2. Legions of WiggleWorks fans were delighted when Scholastic introduced the WiggleWorks: Guided Reading Edition in the spring of 2004 - marrying the motivational software of WiggleWorks with the best-selling leveled reading program, Scholastic Guided Reading .

Assessment: Assessment: The Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) is a computer-adaptive reading assessment for students in Grades 1-12 that accurately matches readers to text. SRI is the only classroom-based assessment program that provides a Lexile measure, enabling teachers to match students to text at their exact reading levels. Scholastic Reading Counts!™ is another highly regarded, technology-based assessment program that enables schools and districts to amass a database of quizzes to accompany age-appropriate literature.

Scholastic Classroom Libraries: The research is in and it's conclusive: the amount students read in class correlates directly to their reading achievement. Putting together a successful classroom library does not have to be difficult or expensive. Scholastic has vast experience helping schools compile classroom libraries of high quality, award winning books for every grade level, reading level, multicultural background and, last but not least, budget requirement.

Classroom Magazines: For over 80 years, Scholastic Classroom Magazines have been helping teachers bring the world into the classroom and tie current events to their curriculum.

The magazine's online companion, Scholastic News Online is a leading news source for students and teachers on the Internet.

Scholastic Classroom Magazines have won numerous awards including the Association of Educational Publishers (EdPress) Golden Lamp Award, the EdPress Distinguished Achievement Award, and the Parents' Choice Award.

Teaching Resources provide additional instructional support to enhance the core curriculum. Two popular lines of professional books, Theory & Practice and Teaching Strategies , have become a trusted resource for educators across the country. Educators can find the latest thinking from authors such as Wiley Blevins, Laura Robb, and Ruth Culham, as well as activity books, literature guides, and teaching tools and aids.

Professional Development: Districts across the country are struggling to comply with NCLB's mandate to provide highly qualified teachers of reading by the end of the 2005-2006 school year. Scholastic Red® is an innovative answer to this challenge. Combining the best of in-person, live workshops with the convenience and scale of online, distance learning, Red helps hundreds of districts build their capacity of skilled teachers of reading.
