Title I is a federally funded program that offers support to kindergarten through fifth grade students who can benefit from specialized instruction as they develop and perfect their reading skills. Central's Title I Program offers a diverse repertoire of reading interventions that are designed to remediate weaknesses and enhance strengths. Various presentation formats are used to diagnose and address specific instructional needs. Instructional strategies range from guided reading group sessions to individualized computer generated instruction.

Central is fortunate to have a Title I program that is actively serving a large student population. Last year, Title I programs provided intensive instruction for 98 students district-wide. As Central's Title I Director, I am constantly looking for ways we can expand and enhance the services offered to our student population. Please feel free to contact me if you believe Title I could be helpful to you or your child. I can be reached by phone at 815-697-2642 extension 2206, or you can e-mail me at dchrisphil@cusd4.org.
