Johns Hopkins University's instructional reforms focus on narrowing and closing literacy gaps through comprehension and fluency. The program uses high-interest materials and research-based activities to accelerate growth for students starting high school below grade level. It includes teacher modeling, mini-lessons, student discussions, vocabulary use, self-selected reading, and extended instructional time. Implementation involves complete daily lessons, intensive workshops, and expert peer coaching for follow-up support.
