Title I Reading Support programs are supplemental instructional programs designed to improve students’ literacy skills and academic performance.
Title I instruction is delivered in both the general education classroom and in a small group setting outside of the classroom.
The schoolwide interventionists also work closely with classroom teachers and parents/guardians to provide information and resources to support the development of literacy skills in the classroom and at home.
