Students receive additional literacy instruction in small peer groups or one-to-one with a literacy support teacher. Literacy Support teachers work with students in the classroom, during the literacy block, and outside of the classroom in a literacy support setting.
Student writing and word analysis support varies during lessons depending on the students' use of reading and writing strategies, as well as the overall lesson goals. Literacy Support lessons are specifically designed to meet each student's individual needs.
The objective of a literacy support intervention is to increase students' reading and writing skills in order to read and comprehend higher level texts. Title I teachers also collaborate with the classroom teachers to supplement and reinforce students' literacy instruction and to monitor their literacy progress.
