Abstract

The Reading Hill Public School District (pseudonym) has implemented the READ 180 intervention program for three years without achieving the desired academic success in two Title I middle schools with Level 1 students, struggling to read. The district then stopped requiring its use. In this study, I assessed the implementation of READ 180 and provided recommendations for future use of the program. I collected quantitative and qualitative data from selected participants to help me formulate a policy to determine the essential components of an effective reading intervention program. I also identified a change plan and policy to guide all future reading program selections.
