For students who are significantly behind or have learning challenges, success means more than improved reading scores. It means broader academic achievement, the pursuit of a college education, and a career path that allows them to reach their fullest potential.
Success means educators have the power to change the life trajectory not only for students, but also for their families and communities.
System 44® places all students, at any level, on a path to achievement and provides the foundational tools they need to achieve real success in school and life.
Adaptive instruction offers a personalized path to building foundational skills.
Scaffolded instruction helps students meet rigorous standards.
Decades of research and success stories prove that System 44 works.

Simple, clear instruction is designed to get all students reading, writing, talking, and thinking critically.
As students accelerate, they see themselves as readers on a path to success with respectful and engaging instruction.

System 44’s instructional model is holistic, providing everything students and teachers need for simple, clear instruction and classroom engagement, including digital tools, real-time data, implementation support, and professional learning.
The System 44 Model for Blended Learning combines adaptive technology and teacher-led instruction to help students become proficient readers, writers, speakers, and critical thinkers.
As a stand-alone program, System 44 is designed to be implemented daily as a single class period and can be used in resource rooms or in after- or summer-school programs.
Instructional Technology
Students work independently on the software and receive intensive, individualized reading instruction and skills practice.
Modeled & Independent Reading
Students build fluency and reading comprehension through modeled and independent reading.
Small-Group Instruction
Teachers present targeted small-group differentiated instruction based on data-driven reports.
To maximize instructional efficiency, System 44 was designed to integrate seamlessly into a Read 180® classroom.
Educators provide differentiated instruction for System 44 students during the Small-Group Learning rotations as part of the Read 180 Blended Learning model.
When students enter a System 44 classroom, their experience of school changes. The System 44 classroom environment is both personalized and engaging for the student, with an instructional experience driven by adaptive technology that provides a unique path to progression for every student, no matter the student's level of ability.
The student software is organized by a comprehensive foundational reading scope and sequence created by Dr. Marilyn Adams.
The scope and sequence guides students through five strands: The Code, Word Strategies, Sight Words, Success, and Writing, providing differentiated instruction and practice in each.
The Student Dashboard motivates and supports students in building executive-function skills, allowing them to track their progress throughout the program.
Based on Dr. Ted Hasselbring’s research, the proven FASTT (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology) algorithm helps students manage their acquisition of new information and then carefully synthesizes this information into long-term memory.
A library of leveled, high-interest, age-appropriate titles targets decoding and comprehension skills while building vocabulary and content-area knowledge.
eBooks include interactive features such as on-demand audio and vocabulary support to promote fluency and comprehension.
Audiobooks foster good strategies and are narrated by one voice, while a second voice, the Reading Coach, prompts “think-alouds” that model best practices.
Built for the rigor of new standards and designed for a seamless digital experience, System 44 Next Generation for iPad® helps maximize instructional time and accelerate student achievement in and out of the classroom.

Having been homeschooled through the third grade, Michaela entered Baker Elementary School as a fourth grader with an infectious enthusiasm for learning, but also as a beginning reader. With hard work and support from her teachers and family, she’s now closer than ever to being on grade. “Due largely to her participation and success in the program, Michaela now has many aspirations for her future,” noted her teacher.
Dwayne was a shy student. When he started in System 44 and Read 180, he had a lot of anger and frustration with his reading challenges. Dwayne reads everything now—science books, sports books, sometimes even comic books. System 44 and Read 180 helped him set his sights even higher than middle school. “I want to graduate middle school, high school, and college, so I can study business,” says Dwayne. We can’t wait to see how far he goes!
