School Improvement Grants (SIG)

American Reading Company’s research-based ACTION 100 is up and running in Pennsylvania, Florida, and New Jersey. The ACTION 100 RtI Accountability Model will provide quick wins for Title I schools qualifying for a School Improvement Grant.

See ACTION 100 working in the Camden City Schools Case Study.

• Leader and teacher learning provide accountability for your district.
• Formative assessment tracking system provides real-time rate of reading growth for RtI accountability.
• Complies with SIG requirements.

Strategic Partnership for Raising the Bar for All Students

American Reading Company is ready to assist you with the daunting task of preparing your School Improvement Grant (SIG) submission. Based on past results, we are confident we can help teach your schools how to organize for effective reading instruction, ensuring high levels of achievement for every student on state tests.

How to Integrate ACTION 100 into Your Grant Proposals

American Reading Company has developed a template that provides the ACTION 100 RtI Model where appropriate in response to the grant’s demands. ACTION 100 may be your only solution where applicable, or it may be used in conjunction with other programs and models introduced. The stakes are very high, and what you indicate you are going to do must be innovative, radically different from what has been done, transparent, and very measurable.
