Dear Parents and Families:
An important goal set by Cabarrus County Schools is to ensure that all of our students achieve
academic success. Reading at grade level and having a solid foundation in mathematics skills is
essential for succeeding in school as well as beyond. Research supports early intervention as a
key to promoting on level reading and math skills in the elementary grades. Therefore, we
provide opportunities for our students to engage in interventions based on their specific areas
of need.
Your child [Insert child’s name] has the opportunity to receive additional instruction from
[Insert interventionist’s name] in [insert area of focus – either one or more of the five pillars of
reading or one or more of the domains in math] at school during the regular school day.
The interventions are designed to close the gap for children performing below grade level. Your
child was chosen for these interventions based on classroom performance, test scores, and
teacher recommendation. Test scores reviewed when determining your child’s needs included:
