The QuickReads Advantage Posted 05/16/2008 Permanent Link

Consistent Instructional Routine

Develops automaticity with high-frequency words and develops key content-area vocabulary and content knowledge. Vocabulary words are introduced in the first reading passage, defined in context, and reinforced through repetition to consistently build important vocabulary. Subsequent passages allow students to explore a topic in-depth, with additional repetition of the key vocabulary words, including their variants.

Comprehension Strategy Practice and Review

Ensures that students read for meaning through consistent comprehension reviews. Challenges students to use their higher-order thinking skills and solidify content-area knowledge by making connections across five passages.

Consistent Instructional Routine

Promotes the consistent development of comprehension strategies through a research-based and validated instructional routine that systematically improves reading performance.

Integrated Assessment

Motivates students to improve fluency by tracking comprehension and reading rate.

Placement and Ongoing Progress Monitoring

Provides benchmark passages for every level for easy placement and
ongoing progress monitoring. Helps you confidently place your students in the appropriate QuickReads level.

Optional Extension Activities for School and Home

Reinforces vocabulary skills, supports ESL/ELL needs, and builds content knowledge through suggested activities for every QuickReads topic. Encourages family involvement to contribute to student success.
