Students in the Title I
program are encouraged to utilize take home materials such as leveled
non-fiction texts, novels, and magazines. It is important for students
to read regularly at night, practice fluency passages, review high
frequency words, and respond to their reading through written
responses. Reading specialists will review homework assignments the
next school day and lessons will build on information taught in Title I
sessions and assignments completed at home. Our goal is to support
students as they strengthen their skills as independent readers,
writers, and thinkers.
Students
served in the Title I program will receive a progress report card every
nine weeks that will accompany the regular report card. These reports
will reflect students' progress towards grade level standards in
literacy education. The areas of fluency, phonics/word work skills,
vocabulary development, and reading comprehension will be assessed to
determine a benchmark reading level. Parents are welcomed and
encouraged to meet with the Title I reading specialists to discuss
academic progress in the program and how we can work together to support
learning.
