Middletown City School District

The literacy coaches train and assist teachers with instruction; reading teachers "work directly with students who are eligible for Title 1" services for the poor; literacy teachers focus on grades 6 through 9; ESL teachers assist the classroom teacher with students whose original language is not English; and special education teachers work with the classroom teacher to integrate students with special needs into the literacy program.
