Title I (also known as Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act)
is a federally-funded program that provides extra reading and mathematics instruction for students in elementary and secondary schools. Title I instruction is not special education, nor does it take the place of a student's regular classroom instruction. It is highly-focused, small-group instruction that
is delivered in addition to a student's regularly scheduled reading and math time. Not only does the Title I program strive to assist students in acquiring strong reading skills, it aims to promote positive reading and math experiences for all students.
Title I teachers and tutors are highly trained elementary teachers
who work closely with your child's classroom teacher to
provide supplemental reading and math instruction. Lessons are tailored to
meet student needs, and continual assessment and progress monitoring ensures that all children are learning and progressing.
