What Is Title I Reading Intervention?
Title I, which is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), provides financial assistance to our school district in order to help ensure that all children meet the challenging state academic standards. At Lincoln Elementary School, there is a team of trained and highly-qualified staff members who provide daily, small group instruction to students who qualify to receive Title I reading intervention services.

Who Participates In Title I Reading Intervention?
Our school district utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support framework, which allows us to provide reading instruction and intervention services to our students in various tiers. All students participate in Tier I in the general classroom. Students who qualify to receive Title I reading intervention services may participate in Tier II, which is small group instruction outside of the general classroom. This explicit, small group instruction is provided by our reading intervention team. The results of Acadience Reading benchmark assessments determine whether or not students qualify for Title I support.

Once a student qualifies for Title I reading intervention services, further diagnostic assessments are given to determine which specific reading skills require additional support. Small groups are formed based on the results of the diagnostic assessments and these groups are then instructed by our reading intervention team members. Each small group is seen for at least forty minutes every day.
Our reading intervention team at Lincoln Elementary School is made up of one reading specialist and three intervention assistants. Having a team of four guarantees that at least four small groups from each grade level can be seen every day. Our reading intervention team is trained to use explicit, research-based reading programs to target specific reading skills. Some skills that are addressed in our small groups may include: Blending and Segmenting, Short and Long Vowels, Consonant Digraphs and Blends, R-Controlled Vowels, Advanced Consonants and Vowels, and Multi-Syllabic Words.

What Can You Do To Help Your Child Become A Stronger Reader?
Read! Read! Read!
The best thing you can do to help your child become a stronger reader is to encourage them to read! Read to your child, read with your child, and have your child read to you. Reading is much like riding a bicycle - the more you practice, the better you become. Encourage your child to read each night and initiate discussions about what your child is reading. Also, model enthusiasm! Show your child that you are excited about reading, too. We want our children to become life-long readers!
