Convenience sampling was used with 90 students participating in the study. The treatment group was comprised of 57 students enrolled in Read 180 while the control group was comprised of 33 students enrolled in atraditional reading improvement course. Relationships between and within the groups were statistically analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (Minium, Clarke & Coladarci, 1999).

Book excerpt: READ 180 is a comprehensive reading intervention program designed to meet the needs of elementary to middle school students whose reading achievement is below the proficient level. The program directly addresses individual needs through differentiated instruction, adaptive and instructional software, high-interest literature, and direct instruction in reading, writing, and vocabulary skills. Stage A provides tools for young struggling readers in elementary school to develop critical literacy skills. Stage B provides middle school struggling readers with topics designed for their level of reading that hold their interest. System 44 was designed for the most challenged, older struggling readers, and helps these students understand that the English language is a finite system of 44 sounds and 26 letters that can be mastered. It uses validated assessment for screening and placement, research-based phonics instruction and highly motivating and age-appropriate adaptive technology.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read 180 is a reading program designed for students whose reading achievement is below the proficient level. The goal of Read 180 is to address gaps in students' skills through the use of a computer assisted instruction intervention. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the effects of Read 180 on the reading achievement of fourth- and fifth-grade English Learner students and English Only students at three elementary schools located in California's Central Valley. This study was designed to measure the success of student participants who participated in a daily 90-minute structured reading block. For each participant, the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) was administered twice, to establish baseline data for the first academic quarter, and at the end of fourth academic quarter to determine if changes in achievement occurred between the pretest and posttest. Paired sample t-tests were used to determine if significant differences existed in the reading achievement of fourth and fifth-grade English Learner students and English Only students after 1 year of participation in Read 180. The level of significance was set at .05. The results indicated a significant difference between the means of the pre and posttest scores. The mean posttest scores were significantly higher than the mean pretest scores for each group.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of READ 180 on the reading achievement of fifth grade English Language Learners. The participants of this study were enrolled in READ 180 and were identified as English Language Learners. The participants participated in a daily 90-minute structured reading block for an entire academic school year. The Reading Inventory (RI), a computer-adaptive assessment, was used to measure students’ reading levels and served as the outcome measure of this study. For each participant, the RI was administered at the beginning of the academic school year to establish a baseline and secondly at the end of the fourth quarter to determine final results. This quantitative study used data retrieved from the district’s database. A paired sample t-test was used to determine if a significant change existed in the reading achievement of fifth grade English Language Learners after one year of participation in READ 180. The level of significance was set at .05. The results indicated a significant change in reading achievement between the pretest and posttest. The mean of the posttest was significantly higher than the mean of the pretest.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study examines the effects that the READ 180 intervention program had on at-risk high school students. For the purpose of this study students identified as at risk were subjected to criteria set by the district, and included English Language Learners, Special Education Students and students who were economically disadvantaged. Other students who met the set criteria included students who failed to pass their third administration of TAKS or TAKS in the 8th grade, 9th graders who received 2100 or less, and second year 9th grade students who failed TAKS or TAKS A as 9th graders. The intervention focused on improving students' reading proficiency levels by observing the effects the program had on students' reading Lexile Levels and TAKS scores upon completing the READ 180 program. The data collected was preexisting data of 62 students who received the intervention for a period of one school semester. The participants spent a total of 90-minutes a day receiving reading intervention that focused on the application of mixed method instruction including: teacher-led whole-group instruction, small group instruction, modeled and independent reading, and interaction with instructional software. The sample use din the study involved five READ 180 classes from two different campuses within a school district in South Texas. The data were gathered and observed to examine the degree of improvement students experiences in reading comprehension during the course of the six months. The result of the study indicated that READ 180 did have and effect on student reading proficiency based on the student's pretest and posttest reading Lexile Levels and TAKS scores. The data show that, based on the reading Lexile pretest scores administered in January 2010 and posttest administered in April 2010, students averaged a gain of 50.9L. Participants also showed and increase in TAKS scores. Pretests of TAKS exams administered in Spring of 2009 showed that 6.5% of students passed TAKS. The examination of posttest exams administered in Spring of 2010 indicated that 37.1% of students passed their TAKS exams. On average 80.6% of the sample reported gains. Based on the results presented by the pre-and posttest data the research concluded that the interventions presented b the READ 180 program had a positive effect on reading levels of the sample population. The researcher further concluded that the READ 180 intervention program has the potential to provide the school district with researched-based instructional techniques needed to improve the reading proficiency levels of at-risk high school students. As a result of the study, the researcher recommended that the school district consider moving forward with the use of the READ 180 program.
