Title I Reading
Kinnikinnick School
The goal of Title I Reading is to provide extra reading support and instruction for struggling readers. Title I instruction is concentrated reading instruction that is provided by the classroom teacher and the Title I Reading teacher who supplements classroom instruction.
Supplemental reading instruction with the Title I Reading teacher will be in small groups, three to five times weekly for approximately 20-30 minutes each session.
Tools used to identify students for the Title I Reading program:
Students who score in the bottom 20% of the Aimsweb universal screener given in the fall will be given first priority. In addition, we will use teacher recommendations.
