education. Through the program, we strive for scholars to love reading and
discussing their ideas. Through the various components of THINK
Literacy, our scholars learn to express their ideas clearly and precisely and
learn how to construct compelling arguments. The result is that our scholars
are great critical thinkers who understand the power and importance of
reading and writing.

program that tutors students in English language and literacy. It is used at
Davila as a kind of intervention for students at any tier of the RTI
framework.
Accelerated Reader: This is a progress monitoring software assessment in
wide use by primary schools for monitoring the practice of reading. There
are three steps to using Accelerated Reader. First, students choose and read
a fiction or non-fiction book, textbook, or magazine. Teachers monitor
reading including guided, paired, literature-based, and textbook reading.
Second, students take a quiz. Teachers can create their own quizzes for
those not available in Accelerated Reader. Third, the teacher receives
information that is intended to assist, motivate reading, monitor progress,
and instruction.
