Boost Reading Texas and Boost Lectura Texas:

• Schools should consider the following when deciding how Boost Lectura and Boost Reading are used together: Instructional model, schedule, instructional needs, and literacy goals. These considerations will drive further decisions on professional development and lesson planning.
• In general, we recommend that if using both Boost Reading and Boost Lectura, students should aim for approximately 40 minutes of usage per week across both programs.
