Our Goals are to help children become confident readers that enjoy reading.  We hope to partner with families to make literacy a priority in the home and we hope you feel welcome to contact us.

Some of this year's projects include:

• Title One Parent Night

• Partner with ICARE for literacy/family nights throughout the year

• Student Book Exchange

Title I is a national federally-funded reading program which provides supplemental instruction for those children who need a boost in reading.  Children who score below grade level on the Idaho Reading Indicator or are referred by the classroom teacher are given specialized instruction. Misty Fridley and her team provide services for kindergarten through fifth. The children are grouped according to their needs and strengths in reading.  During this time, they receive work in phonics instruction, word work and small group instruction with reading text at their level. 

Parent involvement is one of the most important components of the Title I program. There are many things parents can do to promote better reading in their child, and Title I tries to bring about successful reading habits both in school and at home. The Title I staff are available to support families with questions and concerns regarding reading and writing.  The staff  sends home regular progress reports and have a large supply of books and resources for parents who have children enrolled in the program.

The staff at Borah feel that reading is the one skill upon which all other learning is based and are working hard to ensure each child receives the best reading  instruction possible. In addition Borah has teamed with community volunteers who provide one on one tutoring with students who would benefit from extra help. Help comes from volunteer programs like Wake Up and Read, CDA for Kids, before and after school intervention classes, parents and our adopted seniors who live near by at Bestland Retirement Community.
