Title I Reading

Title I is a federally funded remedial reading program designed to provide extra support to students who are performing below grade level expectations in their reading. Title I is a service provided in each of our elementary schools. The teachers in the program are certified Reading Specialists. The program format is diagnostic prescriptive and follows a schoolwide approach. The specialist identifies the academic needs of a student and then develops a plan to assist the student to develop reading strategies and skills.

The Reading Specialist works very closely with the regular classroom teacher to provide the best opportunities for learning for all students. The format of the program is the in-class model with limited pullout. Each school operates under a plan based upon their needs.

ACPS works to provide parents with multiple opportunities to engage with students in their learning. Various parent workshops and literacy events are offered throughout the school year in each building. Each school level Parent Advisory Committee develops a Parental Involvement Policy to help guide the decisions made in regards to parental involvement.

Be sure to also visit our Parent and Family Literacy Links page for more resources to use at home to support your child's literacy development.
