The Aire Libre Title I Program: The Aire Libre Title I Program is a Federally Sponsored Program that provides funding for targeted grade levels. Grades 4-6 are the focus of this program at Aire Libre. We work hard to increase services that will help improve the educational success of our students. Some of the programs we provide are: 2010/2011 school year. Students received school supplies for the new school year. Teachers helped students get organized and reviewed basic reading and math skills. Students and teachers read daily and students enjoyed activities such as "Reader's Theatre," "Read Naturally," "Math and Reading Bingo," and much more! and strive to include parents in all areas of their child's education. Some ways we do this is by providing informational meetings about the Title I program, monthly Title I meetings and get acquainted breakfasts. All parents are welcome to attend. help them gain a clearer understanding of their child's Math homework and teaches skills that will enable parents to help their children more effectively with homework. become better readers. Reading Tips from the Aire Libre Reading Room: The most important thing you can do as a parent to help your child become a better reader is to make sure your child sees you actively reading and/or writing every day. Modeling good reading and writing behaviors helps your child see the importance of reading and writing in every day life. Since reading is a complex process, no single strategy works best all of the time. The seven comprehension reading keys that follow, from the book: 7 Keys to Comprehension, How to Help Your Child Read It and Get It, by Susan Zimmermann and Chryse Hutchins, Three Rivers Press, 2003, will give you some strategies you can use to help increase your child's understanding of what they are reading and ultimately help them become a more successful reader. increase understanding and relate to personal feelings and emotions experienced to what they are reading predict will happen to deepen understanding a story or text they are reading and what information is not reading ahead and questioning to understand the meaning of unknown words or phrases Zimmermann, pg 5-6.
