Literacy with Boost is an additional product that is designed to target the unique needs of our diverse learners. Although teachers are able to utilize our various scaffolding options in our standard product, Boost is an add-on purchase that's tailored more specifically to student needs. It is appropriate for struggling readers and gives them access to scaffolded and intensive instruction around phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension in grades PreK through 12. Our Boost product provides a combination of differentiated instruction, effective learning scaffolds, and targeted instructional frameworks to accelerate reading gains for struggling readers and students in intervention or special education programs.
