The Imagination Station, developed using scientifically based reading research, is a revolutionary Internet-based supplemental reading instruction and intervention program that teaches students to read fluently with comprehension. Aligned to the federal No Child Left Behind Act and the National Reading Panel (2000), The Imagination Station systematically teaches students as they learn developmentally appropriate skills in the essential reading areas of phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The Imagination Station automatically administers istation’s Indicators of Progress (ISIP™) to differentiate and deliver individualized instruction. Progress is continually assessed and instantly published to reports with links to recommended teacher-directed lessons and supplemental materials for small group and individual intervention.

With its comprehensive approach to teaching beginning reading skills, The Imagination Station screens, diagnoses, and delivers differentiated Pre-K through 3rd grade instruction. The adaptive instructional path ensures Pre-K through 3rd grade students learn to read and pass state mandated reading tests.

	Assessment and Progress Monitoring The Imagination Station’s Indicators of Progress (ISIP™) are equivalent to DIBELS™ measures and are administered electronically through automated benchmark and continuous progress monitoring assessments. On-line assessment and progress monitoring protect teacher time. Data is analyzed and district-wide, campus and teacher reports are provided instantly.
	Engaging Individualized Instruction and Intervention Students learn essential reading skills aligned to state and national standards. Data from the DIBELS™ equivalent measures and ongoing assessment is used to deliver individualized explicit and systematic instruction in the five key reading areas: • Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Students progress from counting words, syllables and phonemes to segmenting and blending. • Phonics Systematic and explicit instruction and practice of letter and sound relationships are provided through differentiated activities. Students apply these skills to decode words in books and stories. • Vocabulary Multiple exposures seeing, hearing, and manipulating words reinforced with animated visual clues develop vocabulary in a variety of contexts. • Fluency Engaging rapid letter and word naming games, multileveled books and a controlled reader provide repeated practice and measure accuracy and rate. • Comprehension Explicit comprehension instruction and application are provided through dialogue, modeled narration, “look back” strategies and text with visual support in decodable skillbooks, chapter books and read aloud books. Comprehension Skills • Character • Setting • Sequence • Problem/Solution • Cause & Effect • Main Idea • Inference • Compare & Contrast • Summarization • Author’s Purpose
	Data-Driven Teacher Resources Teacher-directed lessons and supplemental materials link on-line curriculum to classroom instruction. Teacher Resources facilitate small and whole group instruction and tailor instruction with printable resource materials aligned to essential skills. Teacher-directed lessons, materials, word lists, cards, games and books correlated to students needs.
	Comprehensive Reports Through its continuous assessment system, The Imagination Station monitors progress and data is automatically analyzed to recommend teacher-directed individual and small group instruction. Real-time comprehensive reports document individual student growth (eg. IDEA, Title I, Reading First), facilitate data informed decision making, provide Response to Intervention (RTI), and generate documented audit trails.
