Title I is a federally funded program created to provide children with supplemental educational assistance in the Primary School and Intermediate School in grades 1-5. Supplemental Reading Intervention is provided in a small group setting to improve student achievement. Highly qualified teachers provide intensive instruction daily, using a research based intervention program to strengthen reading skills.

The school district must establish multiple, educationally related, objective criteria to determine eligibility. Selection criteria may be based on several of the following assessments:

• Terra Nova
• DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills)
• DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment)
• PSSA (Pennsylvania State System of Assessment)
• District's reading assessments
• Teacher Recommendations

• Home-School Compact
  The Home-School Compact details an agreement between the teacher, student and parents describing the roles and responsibilities of each person. The Home-School Compact is sent each year that the student qualifies for the Title I program.
• Title I Parent Involvement Plan
  The School District of Upper Moreland invites parents to become actively involved in the Title I program. The plan was jointly developed between faculty, administrators, and parents and is reviewed and revised annually.
