April 25, 2005—Volo, Illinois—
Don Johnston Incorporated is delighted to announce the release of SOLO — one completely integrated solution that moves students from guided reading comprehension through a considerate and structured environment that facilitates written expression in multiple genres and content areas. SOLO provides incomparable supports that empower students to become independent thinkers, readers and writers. SOLO combines all of Don Johnston's proven, industry-standard interventions — Co:Writer®, Write:OutLoud®, Draft:Builder® — and introduces Read:OutLoud™. Additionally, SOLO provides a hub, Teacher Central, where educators can quickly and easily provide differentiated assignments, oversee skill development and analyze student progress. "The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports that only 30% of our students are attaining proficiency in reading and writing. We're here for the other 70%," proclaimed Don Johnston. "We need to shift our thinking. We need to stop expecting learners to adapt to curriculum that does not meet their age, their ability or learning style. Print is a difficult medium for many students because textbook companies write to the middle. We cannot continue to use this approach and medium for delivering information when research shows us time and time again that it doesn't work. The SOLO learning environment can help address this — SOLO provides an individualized experience for each student with considerate supports that not only scaffold, but also build skills and independence."
