Principles of Structured Literacy Instruction: How Structured Literacy is Taught
Structured
Instruction follows step-by-step procedures for introducing, reviewing, and practicing concepts, always with the goal of independent functional use. Teachers must individualize instruction (even within groups) based on careful and continuous assessment using both informal (e.g., observation) and formal (i.e., standardized) tools.
System 44 Personalized Instructional Software and Teacher-Facilitated Instruction
System 44 is a blended learning program harnessing the promise of technology and supporting e ective teacher-led instruction with consistent routines for introducing, reviewing, and practicing concepts. The program includes key features in the software and in the 44Book that support students in developing foundational literacy and comprehension skills. The software delivers a personalized learning path through systematic instruction in phonics, decoding, word recognition, and writing, while
the 44Book, an interactive work text, sca olds close reading and comprehension of increasingly complex text, with an emphasis on non ction.
Differentiated and individualized instruction are achieved by the integration of multiple assessments, multiple entry points, adaptive computer technology, and targeted instructional materials and strategies. In addition to the individualized instruction students receive through the System 44 software, teachers have access to various resources to deliver targeted instruction as well. Through the Teacher Dashboard, the Groupinator® automatically recommends skills and strategies for each group based
on student assessment data. Teachers can thus create learning environments for multiple purposes to meet the needs of individual students. Teachers can also opt in to be noti ed when students meet speci ed performance thresholds or alerted when implementation factors like time-on-task require their attention.
Personalized learning in System 44 is driven by the proven FASTT (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology) algorithm, which helps students manage their acquisition of new information and then carefully synthesizes this information as long-term memory. As students work independently on the computer, the System 44 software is automatically and continuously collecting student performance data, which feeds multiple reports that teachers use to inform small-group di erentiated instruction.
