What Is Plugged-in to Reading?
Plugged-in to Reading is a literacy program for middle and high schools authored by internationally respected literacy expert and teacher Dr. Janet Allen. Born from intensive research and based entirely in high-interest, authentic literature and complementary nonfiction readings, Plugged-in to Reading gradually moves readers from teacher-directed instruction to peer-supported instruction and finally to self-directed learning. Level 1 is designed for grades 5-7, Level 2 for grades 7-9, and Level 3 for grades 9-12. Each level includes a Teacher Guide, a Resource Binder with reproducible worksheets, 2 portable bookshelves, print books and unabridged Recorded Books, Independent Reading Guides, and 3 of Dr. Allen’s professional books.
