Beginning in 199x, Direct Instruction reading and Direct Instruction language programs were integrated into literacy programs designed to meet state requirements for a comprehensive literacy program. The first comprehensive Direct Instruction literacy program produced was Journeys, a K-3 program which combined components of the Direct Instruction language programs and the Horizons reading program. Journeys was specifically designed to meet the Texas State Standards.

In 200x, a comprehensive program called Reading Mastery Plus was published specifically to meet Florida standards. Reading Mastery Plus was a K—5 program which utilized all the levels of Reading Mastery and components of Language for Learning, Language for Thinking and Reasoning and Writing.

In 200x, the Reading Mastery Plus program was replaced with the Reading Mastery Signature Edition. The Signature edition includes all the Reading Mastery Levels, and additional components from the Language for Learning program, the Language for Thinking program and the Reasoning and Writing programs.

Implementing Direct Instruction Successfully

When implemented fully, Direct Instruction (DI) is unparalleled in its ability to improve student performance and enhance students’ self-esteem. In order to implement DI effectively, much more is required than simply purchasing instructional materials. The following two-part tutorial guides administrators, teachers, and coaches through the key features of a successful DI implementation. Part I provides an overview of the steps schools need to take in preparation for a DI implementation before school starts, while Part II provides an overview of the steps schools need to take after school has started.

IMPORTANT: This tutorial is an intensive video series comprised of 18 segments, each followed by a series of questions. Users should allow approximately three hours to watch the videos and complete the questions. NIFDI recognizes the high demand for time placed on school officials and, for this reason, has structured the tutorial so users may stop at any time and later resume where they left off.
