                 NOTE:   READING INTERVENTION PARENT NIGHT FOR K-3
                                    6:15-7:15  OCTOBER 6, 2009  Cline Library


                                                                2009 Fall Focus 
Dear Parents,
We are off to a great start with targeting every child's reading goals and helping all Cline students 
achieve success in literacy. At Cline, we are proactive at finding the right intervention for your child's 
needs so that failure is not experienced.  Cline's response to a child's intervention is measured by a tier 
system. Some children may need close monitoring in their classroom as with Tier 1, some need a short 
3-6 week jump start program like with KIP, while others may need Tier 2 as with SRP which are longer 
term interventions.  Tier 3 is provided for students who need specific intense instruction as outlined in 
district and state guidelines.  
If your child has recently been recommended for intervention, I have sent 
home a parent permission form for your child to participate in the K.I.P.(Kindergarten 
Intervention Program), S.R.P.(Supplemental Reading Program) or 
Dyslexia Intervention Program.  I will be happy to set up a time to conference with you 
about your child's program after school M-F. I also have a conference time at 11:45-12:15 M-F. 
 If you have concerns about your child's progress, assessment results or feel you have important 
confidential information to share about your child, please feel free to contact the 
counselor, Mrs. Bowman or myself,(Mrs. Steele) by phone at #281-482-1201 
ext.#304 or email me at:  jsteele@fisdk12.net
      I strongly encourage you to first contact your child's teacher but 
feel assured, Mrs. Bowman or I will be available to help answer questions, 
as well as, be a resource to helping your child in his classroom. Please 
provide me time to answer your call or email since I have 8 class periods 
and may have to wait until 2:35 before I can return your call/email. It may 
be necessary for us to meet or talk by phone during the school year, 
to discuss your child's response to classroom interventions or response to a 
pulled-out (regular education) program such as KIP, SRP, or Dyslexia.  At 
Cline,"early intervention" and providing opportunities for parent 
connections are foremost our goal for your child's reading success.       

P.S. Please check out the Cline Reading Connections table in the hallway 
where we are happy to share home materials, provide suggestions and 
information for home practice on these specific skills which are 
the "greatest predictors of reading success".  Upcoming events and parent 
information nights will be posted on this table and reminders sent with your 
child's reading folder. 

Sincerely, 
Mrs. Julia C. Steele
