Implementation Flexibility

The overall success of QuickReads depends upon its consistent and concentrated use over time.

For best results:

• Use QuickReads at least three or four times a week to reinforce and
  practice the instructional strategies.
• Focus on a different passage during each teaching session to complete
  one level every 18 weeks.
• Choose a teaching option that best fits your students.
