Title I is designed to give students help in reading and/or math based upon the recommendation of the classroom teacher and performance on standardized tests or formal assessments. 

It involves individual and/or small group help centered around student needs.  The opportunity for additional instruction increases the child's ability to succeed in reading and/or math and helps the child "connect the pieces" in order to move toward grade-level academic achievement. Title I is staffed with caring and certified teachers who are committed to providing lessons to your children that help them to more completely understand the classroom material.

Title I programming is only available to students in grades K-4.

Teacher-Directed Instruction:  Teacher-directed instruction is offered to students who are reading below their grade level peers and are in need of a research-based, teacher directed program that will focus on the main components of literacy in order to help them become a more proficient reader.  Some examples of skills that are taught in a direct instruction program include phonics, sound combinations, blending, decoding, and also fluency.  Teacher-directed instruction takes place daily for 25-minute blocks of time.

Read Naturally Fluency Lab:  Read Naturally is a research-based program that enables students to become fluent readers.  It has three components:  teacher modeling, repeated reading, and progress monitoring. It is based on several research-based theories, including the following:

• Students become good readers by reading

• Reading along with a more proficient reader improves word recognition and reading fluency.

• Reading a passage several times improves fluency.

• Self-monitoring of progress improves reading achievement. 

1st - 3rd Grade Math Clubs: Title I math clubs are teacher led math programs that are designed to assist students with the math concepts that are being taught in their regular classroom.
