We have 3 "Title I" reading teachers (paid w/ Title I funds). They are also Reading Recovery teachers. They each take 4 kids for Reading Recovery for 20 weeks (I think) before the kids are "dismissed", and another round of 4 starts. They see these kids one-on-one daily for 30 minutes.
The teachers spend the rest of their day working with small groups, K-2, no more than 4 children in each group. We also have a "county" (paid w/ county funds) reading teacher, who works with 2nd and 3rd grade small groups, also no more than 4. We determine which kids go to groups w/ our PALS (Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening) scores, that are done in the fall. The teachers take the lowest quartile of each grade. We have 600 kids, PK-5, about 40% free/reduced lunch. We are a Title I school.
