Title 1 Reading/Language Arts Program

We offer a Title I Reading Program to supplement our regular Reading program in Grades 1-3. This program gives additional reading instruction to children who may have had a difficult time learning to read fluently or who may benefit from additional face-to-face instruction in reading. We use Reading Assistants within the regular classroom and children are selected by ranking all children based on scores on Reading tests, teacher recommendations, and history of reading difficulty. In Grades 4-5, Title 1 students work on skills used in the writing process. Students are selected using similar criteria as above but use a writing sample given at the end of Grade 3 as well as results of the MCAS tests when available to determine eligibility and specific needs.
