High-impact tutoring for Nevada schools.
Live, small-group virtual tutoring in K–12 math and ELA. Connect reading and math support with your school’s literacy plan, MTSS priorities, and the routines that help students participate.
Nevada’s FY 2027 Literacy Interventionists and Tutoring Programs grant requires in-person services. Cignition’s virtual model does not qualify for that grant.

Official sources checked November 4, 2026
01Early reading, language, and intervention
Nevada’s emphasis
Nevada’s Read by Grade 3 work pairs early identification with intervention for elementary readers. The 2025 PreK–12 State Literacy Plan connects foundational reading, language development, and targeted support across grade levels.
The Cignition connection
Discuss the skills your students need next, from decoding and connected reading in the early grades to vocabulary and comprehension. Review proposed lessons alongside your literacy plan and the support your school already provides.
02Targeted academic support through MTSS
Nevada’s emphasis
Nevada’s MTSS framework connects screening, targeted interventions, and progress monitoring. Schools use evidence to adjust academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support rather than treating an intervention as a stand-alone program.
The Cignition connection
Give tutoring a focused instructional role within your school’s plan. Use student work, tutor observations, and participation information to review reading or math needs while your school team retains responsibility for decisions across tiers.
03Attendance, engagement, and connection
Nevada’s emphasis
Nevada’s chronic absenteeism work emphasizes early identification, positive relationships, family partnership, and support for the barriers that keep students from school. It uses a multi-tiered approach to participation and belonging.
The Cignition connection
Protect recurring tutoring time and make participation practical. Plan student access, a consistent tutor and group where possible, and communication when sessions are missed. Tutoring should complement your attendance work; it does not replace it.
Our curriculum. Your instructional goals.
From a learning target
to student thinking.
Start with the skill your students need next. Connect the learning goal, the task, and the explanation that shows how a student is thinking.

What should we look for?
Consider how a learner connects sounds and print, responds to prompts, and practices a foundational reading skill. Which responses would help your team decide what the student understands and what to teach next?
How would this connect with our curriculum?
Compare the learning goal, task, language, and prerequisites with your classroom materials. Your school’s learning sequence and the students’ starting points guide that discussion.
How should we use this example?
This grade-band sample illustrates selected instruction. It has not been customized for Nevada and is not a comprehensive state standards alignment. For a specific alignment question, share the standard and classroom materials with our team.
Inside a school partnership
A shared plan.
People to keep
it moving.
Cignition brings live virtual instruction, purpose-built lessons, a dedicated program manager, and participation and learning information. For example, a Nevada school could explore a separately authorized virtual reading group only where the school’s funding source and service rules allow it. Your school provides protected time, technology, and local support. This is a planning illustration; service eligibility and the agreed scope shape any partnership.

Funding Plan
2026–27 · Locally controlled budgets
Who / what it supports
Nevada’s funding plan combines base funding with additional funding tied to specified student needs. District and charter leaders plan the use of available base dollars within their approved budgets.
Where tutoring could fit
Discuss recurring math or ELA tutoring as an instructional investment in your local plan. A statewide appropriation is not an available balance for your school.
Practical next step: Ask your finance team to confirm the base budget, proposed contract, and local purchasing steps.
Review Nevada’s funding guidance ↗Support tied to
student needs
At-risk and English learner funding · Allowable-use rules
Who / what it supports
At-risk and English learner funds have distinct allowed uses. Nevada’s guidance lists reading skills centers, extended instruction, and other specified supports.
Where tutoring could fit
Match student eligibility and the proposed service to the applicable funding category. Some other services require NDE approval; a tutoring purchase does not qualify automatically.
Practical next step: Have your program lead review NRS 387.12445 and Guidance Memo 25-03 before committing funds.

Who / what it supports
Nevada provided $1 million for FY2026–27 literacy interventionists and tutoring, prioritizing 1-star public schools. The application deadline was April 3, 2026.
Delivery restriction
Services must be in person. The application prohibits virtual-only and remote tutoring platforms, so this grant is not a funding pathway for Cignition’s virtual model.
Practical next step: Review the school’s in-person literacy plan and future NDE notices. Consider another eligible source for virtual tutoring.
Review the FY27 delivery requirements ↗Nevada · Program fit & purchasing
Start with fit.
Confirm the requirements.
Cignition provides live virtual tutoring. Nevada’s FY 2027 Literacy Interventionists and Tutoring Programs grant requires in-person services and does not permit virtual-only delivery or remote tutoring platforms, so it is not a funding route for Cignition’s current model. For a separately authorized school or district plan, review the actual funding and provider requirements, assigned tutor qualifications, instructional materials, reporting, student-data protections, and onsite support before contracting.
A few useful questions
What would you like to work through?
Start here, then bring the questions specific to your students and school.
How would tutoring connect with Nevada learning goals?
Begin with your school’s curriculum, learning sequence, and student work. Review proposed lessons, prerequisite support, and progress checks with Cignition. The interactive activity illustrates one part of Nevada’s grade 7 math expectations. It is not a reviewed curriculum crosswalk. Existing grade-band samples provide a starting point for a curriculum conversation.
How would sessions fit our Nevada school day?
Start with the time students can attend consistently, whether that is an intervention block or an approved extended-day program. Your team and Cignition can discuss scheduling, technology, a school-based point of contact, and how tutoring connects with classroom instruction and progress monitoring.
Can Nevada’s FY27 literacy grant pay for virtual tutoring?
No. The FY2026–27 Literacy Interventionists and Tutoring Programs grant requires in-person services and excludes virtual-only and remote tutoring platforms. Cignition’s virtual program does not meet that delivery requirement. The application round closed April 3, 2026.
Can Title I or Nevada weighted funds support tutoring?
Potentially, depending on the proposed service, eligible students, approved plan, and available budget. Title I is not a separate tutoring grant. Nevada’s weighted funding has specific allowable uses, and some services require NDE approval. Have your district’s program and finance leads confirm eligibility before committing funds.
Which Nevada grant opportunities are open to new applicants?
As of November 4, 2026, the FY27 literacy tutoring and 21st CCLC competitions described here are closed to new applications. An existing award is different from an open competition. Check NDE’s current notices for future rounds, deadlines, and changes in requirements.
