Istation Lectura’s authentic Spanish literacy intervention and instruction enhance learning through purposeful activities with Latin culture and literature. Young learners’ skills are assessed in Spanish through engaging, computer-adaptive activities. Students are then seamlessly placed into high-interest, interactive online instruction.
As students progress through the interactive instructional cycles, they have multiple opportunities to engage with a variety of texts with increasing complexity across genres. Struggling students are routed through reteach lessons, and teachers are given instant reports to monitor student progress.
Each Priority Report directs teachers to specific skills-based, small-group lessons for targeted intervention. Additionally, each instructional cycle contains multiple teacher-directed lessons for further instructional differentiation and support.
Giving Teachers More Time to Teach and Students the Instruction They Need When They Need It
Interactive lessons, read-alouds, digital books, real-time reports, and Istation’s other all-inclusive tools support all levels of instruction for all student abilities. From developing to established readers, Istation supports intervention, development, and accelerated learning.
Students begin with an assigned set of grade-based assessments. More or less challenging subtests will be added based on each student’s estimated overall reading ability score.
Schools get up-to-date Lexile reading measures for students based on their performance on Istation’s Indicators of Progress (ISIP™) assessments. Interactive books and reading passages are correlated to Lexile reading measures. Searching beyond Istation’s digital library of reading materials, the Lexile Find-a-Book feature screens and filters books according to students’ Lexile measure along with genre, reading interest, and more.
This cutting-edge assessment allows students to make recordings of themselves reading authentic, grade-leveled passages, which teachers can review and score at their convenience. Students are able to see ISIP ORF in Spanish if they have access to ISIP Español at school or home. Teachers can score passages using the manual scoring interface, and they can access saved recordings in an online archive. There are enough passages for students to assess monthly without seeing any repeats.
Schools across the country have discovered the importance of developing and empowering their Spanish-speaking students. They are encouraging English learners to pursue biliteracy through bilingual and dual-language programs. These learning programs often have goals for students to… achieve success at or above the benchmark in content areas, become bilingual and biliterate, and develop the knowledge, skills, and disposition to become a competent global citizen.
Our team of educational professionals and consultants are here to help you achieve your goals.
