How can Start-to-Finish Library help my struggling readers?

Classroom Management and Data Collection

How can Library be used?

The Start-to-Finish Library offers your struggling readers a wide-selection of age-appropriate narrative chapter books written at two readability levels and delivered in three media formats. Students accomplish several goals with this unique series: they practice reading fluently and with comprehension using multiple text and electronic supports, while accessing the curriculum’s required topics, genres and literature. As a result, your readers will build volume! 

Teacher Central puts you in control of Start-to-Finish from one convenient location. Teachers manage class lists, set individual reading purposes, select general preferences and view collected data for every book read. Having access to this information will enable you to make data-driven decisions related to intervention, as well as monitor and report out on students’ progress.

• Practice fluency and comprehension skills with volume reading exercises
• Customize the reading experience for each student to provide as much or as little support as needed
• Invite students into content-area reading by using these highly-engaging texts to introduce critical topic vocabulary, build essential background knowledge and strengthen literary language through narrative story format (frontload the curriculum)
• Use historical fiction, biographical stories and stories with embedded science facts to pique readers’ interest and connect them to characters and plots

• Increase vocabulary acquisition and comprehension across curricular topics with materials that define unfamiliar concepts and vocabulary in context
