Title I Reading

According to the PA Department of Education, Title I is a 100% Federally funded supplemental education program that provides financial assistance to local educational agencies to improve educational opportunities for educationally deprived children. Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics.

• develop instruction that adds to or supplements the regular classroom instruction;
• involve parents in all aspects of the program;
• create successful reader who see the value and experience the pleasure of reading.
