Scholastic READ 180 lets teachers instruct the whole class, small groups or individuals via whole-class literacy instruction, modeled and independent reading, instructional reading via software, and small group instruction for targeted skills and reading fluency.

The program is available in two stages: Stage A for grades 4-6 and Stage B for grades 6 and above. It includes informative video segments that pique students' interest; software activities with leveled text and individualized instruction; audiobooks that provide modeled, supported reading; diagnostic assessment software and user-friendly teacher management tools; and much more.
