Voyager Passport™ is a supplemental reading intervention
system for students in grades K–5. The program integrates
five components of reading (phonemic awareness, letter-sound
recognition, word reading, sight words, and vocabulary) into
a 30–40 minute instructional routine. An assessment and data
management system is integrated into the intervention, allowing
teachers to monitor progress and differentiate instruction.
The program provides instruction, corrective feedback, and
practice time in a small group setting. Each level of
Voyager
Passport™ consists of 120 lessons that are divided into ten-day
units called Adventures.
Voyager Passport Reading Journeys™ is a reading intervention program designed for adolescents who struggle with reading. The program incorporates direct, explicit instruction into a systematic 50-minute routine with whole-group and small-group instruction. The program provides instruction in comprehension,
vocabulary, and word study using fiction and non-fiction texts
based on age-appropriate science and social studies topics.
Assessments are embedded in the curriculum to enable teachers
to monitor progress and differentiate instruction. The program
offers four levels of instruction appropriate for middle and
high school. Each level includes 120 lessons that are divided
into ten-day units called Expeditions that focus on topics related
to science or social studies. Each week, students spend four
days on lessons designed to build their fluency, vocabulary, and
comprehension. They spend the fifth day online using SOLO®,
an interactive online learning package.
