  • #50 Student Attendance (for R180-only): 68.6% "I had two students who would hide behind furniture to avoid the pain of reading in the beginning of the year. Their attitude slowly began to transform when they first discovered that they could listen to the Read180 audio books on their very own CD players. They weren’t hiding anymore when they realized that they kind of liked curling up on a comfy couch, kicking back and putting headphones on to listen to an audio book. They slowly opened up to the idea of exploring the other books on offer and have now read several books independently." - Grade 4 & 6
