Purpose of the Program:

The purpose of the program is to provide supplemental literacy services to help all students make progress toward mastering the district curriculum objectives.

Program Overview:

Each grade level is provided with a fifty to sixty minute block of time each day when all of the aligned Learning Center resources are available. Supplemental instructional support for reading and writing will be provided for each student based on his/her learning needs. Individual student progress will be monitored at strategic points throughout the school year by collecting and analyzing relevant assessment data.
