How is fluency taught in READ 180?
During the Reading Zone section of the READ 180 Software, students will repeatedly read one of four leveled passages with varying degrees of computer support. Students can read along with computer audio at self-selected speeds, either one word at a time or phrase by phrase. Students are asked to make recordings of these readings to practice their own reading fluency, before being required to make a final recording for their teacher. During the Word and Spelling Zones, students begin to become fluent with words and spelling by using the FASTT Algorithm (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology).
