Title and Intervention Services

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students.  The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.

Vestaburg Elementary School provides two  Title I programs; Math & Reading. These programs will provide your student with extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom.

Vestaburg Elementary has increased support services to include coaching teams for both literacy and math. These teams will work directly with our teachers to ensure support and increase student academic outcomes.

Math

K-2 Activities:

  • Count orally by twos, fives, or tens

  • Count on from any given number (Ex.-What number comes after 39?  Before 72?

  • Deck of Playing Cards: Play war, put them in sequence order, build addition and subtraction equations with them

  • Have daily countdowns to special events

  • Play “store” and let your child pick out toys and household items and put price tags on them. Then give them money to pay for the items and make change.


3-5 Activities:

  • Let your kids plan a special dinner, shop with you and stick to a budget, then use measuring skills when you bake and cook together

  • Use common household items, such as toothpicks, marshmallows, etc. to build 2D and 3D shapes

Literacy

K-2 Activities:

  • Play word games that encourage your child to learn sounds.  Example: “I spy with my little eye, something beginning with m-m-m.  Your child would guess objects they see that would start with m until they guess the one that you see.

  • Ask your child about words that rhyme. Example: “What other words sound like car?”

  • Ask your child to make a storybook and have your child draw the pictures.  Help your child  write the words or some of the letters in the story.

  • Go outside and practice reading and letter/word writing.  Invite your child to create words/letters in the sand.

  • Read a story together.  Your child could read to you, you could take turns reading, or you could read to your child.  Be sure to ask questions to check for their understanding.


3-5 Activities

  • Let your child plan a meal and create a shopping list

  • Let your child read and then prepare a recipe (following directions)

  • Have your child read aloud to you.  Ask them questions about the story.

  • Have your child write a letter to a family member (grandparent, aunt/uncle, sibling, etc.).
