Title I Reading

What is Title I Reading?

Title I is a federally-funded, general education support program. The goal of Title I Reading is to provide extra reading help and instruction for struggling readers.

Title I instruction is specialized reading instruction that is provided through the cooperation of the classroom teacher and the Title I Reading Specialists. This supplements classroom instruction.

Supplemental reading instruction will be in small groups, one to two times weekly for approximately 30-40 minutes each session.

Daily at-home reading is an integral part of the Title I Reading program. Parents should interact with their child while reading and discuss books that their children bring home.
