2018-2019 Title I/LAP Parent Informational Meeting

Frequently Asked Questions


Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is Title I & LAP?
A. Title I & LAP are federal and state funds provided to schools in order to support students who are below grade-level in reading. Our school provides this support to students in Kindergarten through 4th grade.

Q. What does my child do during reading tutoring?
A. Our staff works with students in small groups to focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. We work on skills at your child’s instructional level, and our goal is to provide them with the tools they need to close the achievement gap in reading.

Q. Is my child missing core instruction to attend Title I & LAP?
A. The tutoring schedule has been designed so that during the time your child is with their reading tutor, the classroom teacher is meeting with other small groups of students. We strongly feel that reading well is vital for a student to be successful in school and to have a bright future.

Q. What can I do to help my child with reading?
A. Help foster a love of reading in your child. Read books; visit the library; ask her about her reading; help him set up a time each day to read; play reading games. Continue checking back to our blog and reading the newsletters sent out by our Title I/LAP team for more ideas.
