Through the 2025-2026 school year, the Monmouth-Roseville school district will receive grant funds from the Future Forward program with the U.S. Department of Education that allows students to receive tutoring for reading at Lincoln and Harding, explains Superintendent Ed Fletcher:
“Basically you have a student who would attend tutoring three times a week for 30 minutes one on one with a teacher using a research based systematic lesson plan. The tutor observes, watches, and tailors each lesson to the students’ needs. We then have family nights with the parents to talk to them about what we are doing and we teach them how to help their kids improve their literacy and then we evaluate along the way to see how the kids are doing and how they are progressing.”
Superintendent Fletcher reports during the last school year 3,721 tutoring session were conducted, 194 family contacts, and 67 home visits with a goal to have 90 percent of third graders reading at grade level.
