Impact evidence

Provided reading intervention for 36, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students using reading curriculum in a group and individual settings, including one-on-one reading time for each student. The goal is to see marked imporvement in the school classroom and on testing scores, which has been achieved with the majority of students.

Enrichment activities are designed to broaden the student's experiences in the arts, sciences, sports, and relationships. We have seen immense growth in all 36 students because of these activites.
  3. $8,417 spent. Our program has added additional tutoring hours including summer hours to help with additional reading intervention. This is due to the amount of students that have fallen behind in reading due to COVID. 11 Tutors were trained in Orton Gillingham curriculum and provide one-on-one tutoring session for students. We have seen marked improvements with those students that have been consistently tutored with this curriculum.
