FAQs
| Q: Can I turn off the Guided Window for my child? |
A: The Guided Window is an essential, powerful feature of the program and cannot be turned off. As students increase their ability to successfully comprehend texts with greater reading efficiency, Reading Plus responds by transitioning them to more traditional reading formats. Text scaffolds are gradually removed in accordance with each student’s reading rate. This helps students sustain attention and assists them with transferring the increased efficiency they attain to all of their reading activities.
