Intervention Programs

The Title 1 staff provides teacher-directed Instruction to students, who are performing below grade level peers, individually or in small group setting. Some examples of skills that are taught in a direct instruction program in reading in the areas of phonics awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Math skills involving number sense, structuring, place value, and basic operations are also taught through direct instruction. This instruction takes place during regular school hours.
