Why is my Child Receiving AIS Services?
Based on State regulations, district criteria, and teacher recommendation your child may be provided with academic intervention services. What Does AIS Stand for? AIS stands for Academic Intervention Services. These services act as a support system for your child’s achievement. What does my Child do During AIS? You may be wondering what your child actually does during their AIS period. Students attend my class, in the form of a reading laboratory. This time serves to solidify their understanding of material presented in their primary classes. By working in a small group setting, and receiving one-on-one instruction, your child is able to address concerns and specific difficulties with several topics. Furthermore, this time is also used to teach your child the skills to become active readers and writers. This course is designed to improve your child’s skills in organization, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing. I have designed this course so that there will be multiple skills that we will address on a daily basis. During class, your child uses close reading strategies to aid in retention and understanding of a text. Students are also provided with graphic organizers and encouraged to make predictions, summarize information, clarify confusing information, and question a text, as they read. By utilizing these strategies during my class, students can take these skills and apply them to all reading and writing activities, which they will encounter. |
