Sisters Elementary
School has a Reading Team who annually assesses the reading of all
students and the primary grades, as well as new and teacher referred
students. We believe that all children deserve plenty of
assistance when they are not experiencing the progress or success in
reading that their peers are.
Title I is part
of a federal program designed to give students an extra boost to get
back to grade level in a particular subject, usually Reading. Reading
help is offered at both Sisters Elementary and Sisters Middle
School.
We
offer small group instruction in a balanced Reading program that
emphasizes phonics and comprehension strategies for reading
fluently. Direct instruction is based upon the students’
specific needs. At the elementary school, the small groups do
not interfere with classroom reading instruction, but are a
25-40 minute “personalized second dose”. At the middle
school, the classes also emphasize content reading strategies to
help students read textbooks. |
