Who Needs Read 180? Using your sentence strip, complete the sentence frame:​ Students who need Read 180 are _________________.​ Truth Is... Students who score in the Intensive and Strategic Range on their Reading Inventory Test NEED Read 180, but all can benefit from Read 180. aiken county public school district

Placement in Read 180 Students should be placed in Read 180 and System 44 based on their Fall Reading Inventory Scores.  Once students qualify for Read 180, they are then placed on one of 4 levels. This is determined by the numerical score they receive and also determines the level of books they read. (SRI Results for Placement Handout) If students score below 600, they should take the Phonics Inventory.  Based on the results of the Phonics Inventory, the teacher recommends the students for either Read 180 or System 44. (Screening Overview Handout) aiken county public school district

Phonics Inventory and System 44 The Phonics Inventory is designed to identify students who struggle, not only with comprehension, but also with decoding and pronunciation of words.  The Phonics Inventory assesses student knowledge in letter recognition, sight word recognition and nonsense word decoding. Placement for System 44 is usually determined by a students score from the Phonics Inventory from the Fluency Score and Decoding Status. (How SPI Results are Reported) aiken county public school district

What we learn from the Phonics Inventory? Students who are Pre Decoders or Beginning Decoders should be placed in System 44 If a student is a Developing Decoder, their Reading Inventory Scores and *other interventions should also be considered before placement in either Read 180 or System 44 Advanced Decoders should automatically be placed in Read 180. aiken county public school district

Can a Student Exit System 44? YES, Just as students can exit Read 180; they can exit System 44 and enter Read 180. Once students have taken the Winter Reading Inventory, the process of system placement should start over. aiken county public school district
