What is the Literacy Intervention Program?
Our Literacy Intervention Program is funded through both local and Title 1 federal funds. The Literacy Intervention Program is offered for grades K-5. The program provides supplemental reading instruction to small groups of identified students. Each school uses a variety of reading assessments to determine which students will best benefit from the program. Supplemental literacy intervention instruction is provided in addition to the regular classroom reading instruction. The Literacy Intervention Teachers use a structured lesson format utilizing specific materials and primarily nonfiction texts. The lessons are designed to meet the specific needs of the students. What are the benefits? o Progress in reading can be accelerated when clear, direct instruction is based on ongoing assessment. o Frequent collaboration between the intervention teacher and the regular classroom teacher promotes maximum growth for each child. o Parent workshops provide parents with information to help them support their childrens’ academic growth at home. What is Title 1? Title 1 is a federally funded program designed to help students who are falling behind academically or are at risk of falling behind. A school receives Title 1 funding based on the number of enrolled students eligible for free and reduced lunch. Title 1 funds are used to hire intervention teachers, purchase materials and supplies, promote parent involvement, and provide professional development opportunities. |
