The accelerated lessons in the PAF program offer teachers a framework for differentiated instruction, allowing high-readiness students to progress through the curriculum at a faster pace. Teachers can use the specific prerequisites, which vary by book title, to precisely identify and group eligible learners. By utilizing these accelerated tracks, teachers can ensure that students who are demonstrating higher reading fluency are efficiently taught lessons at a faster pace.
