Effective Secondary Reading Programs...


My school is exploring Accelerated Reader with Renaissance Learning.
To support formative assessment, quizzes are available for a wide range of novels.
Further, reading levels are monitored closely
and a printable graph is available for individual students or a whole class.
Independent reading is encouraged and each student has his/her own realistic goals.


A review is HERE

***As of November 2016, Renaissance Learning partnered with Achieve3000.
The focus on monitoring differentiated learning in non-fiction reading and writing has now strengthened.

Graphic Novels for Differentiation?


Source: Edutopia - Powerful Graphic Novels for Middle School

The article by Quin Rollins suggests that this selection of graphic novels represents possibilities of learning in English, Humanities and Science classes.
They could engage all literacy levels.


But could there be further possibilities?
1. Partnerships - Students read and discuss
2. Modified curriculum resources 
3. Cross-curricular modified resources
4. Peer evaluation evidence
