Title i / Lap
elger bay elementary
Welcome to our Title i/LAP support program!
We provide supplemental support for students in Math (Delta Math) and Reading (Really Great Reading) to help close the achievement gap. Students are identified through a schoolwide ranking of assessments and are served and monitored for progress by our Title I/LAP team. Currently students in first through fifth grades are being served.
Please check out our Learning Resources, Newsletters and Reading Tips pages for ways to help your child at home.
Phonemic Awareness & Reading
What it is: Phonemic awareness is hearing & knowing
the smallest units of sound in spoken words (phonemes)
and being able to manipulate those sounds.
Why it matters: Students that are missing these key
skills in K-5 struggle more with learning to read. When
your child can practice these oral activities, they are able
to hear word parts and are then ready for the next step in
reading: decoding.
How you can help at home: Play with words. Here’s
some skills from easy to more complex.
● Recognizing Rhyme
○ Do these words rhyme?
● Syllables
○ Can you clap the syllables?
● Blends (onset & rime)
○ Guess this word C-AT
● Produce Rhyme
○ Can you think of a word that rhymes with car?
● Isolate Beginning Sounds
○ Say the first sound in hat
● Syllable Deletion
○ Can you say window without the win?
● Blending Sounds
○ Guess the word S-U-N
● Segmenting Sounds
○ Say the sounds you hear in SHIP
● Sound Substitution
○ Change the H in HAT to B (BAT)
