Title 1
What is Title 1?
Title 1 is a Federally funded program. This program is designed to help children at schools with high poverty levels succeed in reading. Schools with high poverty levels receive Federal Dollars to assist in providing a high quality education in reading for those children with the most need. Students with the most need are able to receive small group reading instruction tailored to their individual need. Title 1 also allows our school, staff, to improve through Professional Development Training. It also provides parent outreach and teaching supplies.
What Title 1 Time Looks Like:
At Candler, our Title 1 staff includes four highly qualified instructional assistants and one Reading Specialist. We meet with students in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade. We have created lessons that provide the essential components of reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Comprehension. Our lessons are tailored to meet student needs.
Each grade level meets daily for 30 minutes.
