Moroni Elementary School Trust Grant Plan | 2020-2021

Goal #1

Using the DIBELS composite, we will show an increase in the percentage of students in grades K-6 that are reading on grade level by 4.5% from beginning to the end of the year. Our current Middle of Year data shows that 58% of students are reading at grade level.

Academic Area

• Reading

Measurements

Student success will be measured by comparing K-6 DIBELS composite scores from beginning of the year to the middle of year. We will increase the percentage of students that are reading at benchmark or above benchmark by at least 4.5%.

Action Plan Steps

Moroni Elementary will continue to fund a part time Read Naturally TA. Participating students receive a Tier II intervention in fluency and comprehension  for 30 minutes daily. We pull 10 students in each grade level in grades 1-5 and they receive this intervention daily. As students make progress or reach well over their benchmark goals, new students are substituted for those that reach grade level performance in reading.

We will fund 1.5 Tier II/III intervention TAs that will work with students in grades K-6. Students will be given diagnostic literacy assessments to identify learning gaps and the interventionist will work with teachers to provide ongoing support to these students in a small group setting to decrease learning gaps.
