1st Grade

Welcome to 1st grade Title I! My name is Ms. Leighton and I am your child's interventionist this year. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please email me at eleighton@cliffsidepark.edu.

This year, we will be using the LLI program to accelerate struggling readers. At home, students should be reading the "Take-home" book in their reading bag EVERY night and practicing the high-frequency words on their word ring. Please click the link below for more specific information about the program:

Stuck on a Word?

Watch this video to learn strategies to help your child word-solve BEFORE supplying the word. When we tell a child the word immediately, they do not get the opportunity to practice their reading strategies!
