EXHIBIT "A" Literacy Intervention Program PROGRAM SUMMARY: CDBG January 21,2021 to July 21,2022 $45,000.00 AMOUNT Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have meanings assigned them in the contract. PROGRAM: The Program will provide one-on-one literacy intervention services to "at-risk" K-12 children with academic disabilities living in poverty with most of these children being minorities. The goal of the program is to improve the reading skills of our students until each student reaches a reading and comprehension level that is commensurate with or exceeds their own grade level. Literacy United has a measurable goal of reading and comprehension growth between 2.0 and 3.5 years in less than a year of Literacy United's intervention—categorized as"statistically significant"in evaluating effectiveness of an academic program. The Program responds to the COVID-19 Pandemic by increasing services as more students are in need of reading intervention due to reading progress negatively impacted by the mandated school closings and on-line instruction. Literacy United offers virtual instruction due to need or preference. In addition,Literacy United provides financial assistance,in the form of one-on-one scholarships,to families in need of academic intervention who are unable to incur the entire financial burden of such services. These services will be pre-testing,intervention,and post-testing. CDBG-CV funds will be used to pay for lease of building,Reading Connection's Reading Specialists, Diagnosticians,Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Managers,Executive Director, Operations Manager,and supplies. Agency's office and Program services will be available at The Reading Connection,located at 3145 McCart Ave.Fort Worth. Sessions are conducted Monday through Friday at various times,mainly after school. Due to necessity or preference,virtual,"one-on-one intervention sessions may be provided.
