SRA's Corrective Reading programs are
divided into two strands: Decoding and
Comprehension.
A single-strand sequence places students in one strand (Decoding, for example), and the students move through the strand from the point of initial placement (Decoding A, B1, B2, or C) to the end of the strand (Decoding C).
The double-strand sequence requires that
students receive two full periods of
instruction each day-one period in a
Decoding program and one period in a
Comprehension program.
Each Decoding program is designed to be used independently. Students may be placed at the beginning of one program and complete all lessons in that program in either a singlestrand or double-strand sequence.
