Title 1 is a federal funded program designed to offer extra academic assistance to students who need help in meeting state standards in reading and mathematics.

 
     
 

Title 1 provides students with supplemental reading and math practice that enhances their ability to succeed in the regular curriculum.

 
     
 

Students are chosen to participate in Title 1 based on assessments and on recommendations from the classroom teachers.

 
     
  In addition to the instruction given by the classroom teacher students receive services in a small group setting or in their regular classroom. A variety of instructional methods and materials are used to help build each student’s skill level and confidence in the areas of reading and/or math.  
     
 
 
 
   
 

Our goal in READING:

to help students become fluent readers with a self extending system.

 
     
 

Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately.

 
     

When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically.

They group words quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read.

 

 

 

Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression.

Their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking.

 

 

 

Readers who have not yet developed fluency read slowly, word by word.

Their oral reading is choppy and plodding.

HOW IT WORKS
Students learn to count "TouchPoints" on nickels, dimes, and quarters to determine the value of the coins. Each "TouchPoint" equals five cents. Pennies are "TouchCounted" last since they are worth one cent each.

 
 

PROCESS
"TouchCounting" is taught in these simple steps:

  Step 1 Learning to count by 1's and 5's and to recognize money symbols.
  Step 2 Identifying each type of coin and its value.
  Step 3 Learning the location of TouchPoints on each type of coin.
  Step 4 TouchCounting coins using marked TouchPoints.
  Step 5 TouchCounting coins without the TouchPoints drawn on the coins.
