• Reading Curricula (Curr), such as LANGUAGE!, McDougal Littel, and other standard and alternative textbooks.
• Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), such as Jostens/Compass Learning, and Accelerated Reader.
• Instructional Process Programs (IP), such as cooperative learning, strategy instruction, and other approaches primarily intended to change teachers’ instructional methods rather than curriculum or textbooks.
• Combined CAI and Instructional Process Models (CAI + IP), such as READ 180 and Voyager Passport.
