Connections Reading

Grades 6–12
This intensive reading program is focused on developing strong reading skills with striving readers using excerpts from on-level literary and informational texts.
Grounded in learning science, the program incorporates proven instructional strategies—such as critical reading, differentiation, and formative assessments—to break down learning barriers and support academic growth.
