<font color='black' size='3' face='Times New Roman, Times, serif'>I agree and would add that we also successfully used Corrective Reading (SRA) and Anita Archer's REWARDS for non-readers before we implemented SIM Reading Strategies.

<div>One of the best RtI programs I have seen was in North Carolina - they used Wilson, Language! and other research-based reading programs for non-readers and XTREME Reading for students who were 2 or more years below reading level. Fabulous!</div>

<div>Ed, I always try to give at least one more earnest effort to teach adolescents literacy skills through an intensive, structured literacy program such as Wilson (WRS) or an intense 16 month daily class of Wilson Just Words which is designed specifically for adolescent learners with significant reading struggles. You never know if students have had an intensive, structured literacy program on basic reading skills without a complete intervention history. I've had good luck, in some cases, with Just Words or WRS (Wilson Reading System) IF the older students are committed. Often, they have had it at that point with interventions and getting 'buy in' is challenging. Also, I know there are other Orton Gillingham based models of instruction besides WRS; but the principles are the same. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Our HS has also used Read 180 with success but it is a big commitment of time within their day if implemented for two periods and requires the technology. I personally like a direct instruction model such as WRS since it is explicit, and teacher directed instruction.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As we all know, HS content doesn't stop for remediation, so I'd make certain that the students have access to audio text through Bookshare or another audio/digital text system to access grade level content in digital format. <br>
