Official sources checked November 3, 2026
01Research-aligned early literacy
Oregon’s emphasis
Oregon’s Early Literacy Success initiative emphasizes research-aligned, culturally responsive reading and writing instruction in the early grades. State grants support PreK–3, with a separate tutoring supplement extending to PreK–5 in prioritized districts.
The Cignition connection
Discuss the specific reading skills your students need next, from foundational skills to fluency and comprehension. Review instructional fit and the funding source before selecting services; Oregon’s dedicated literacy grants require an approved external provider.
02Math intervention and acceleration
Oregon’s emphasis
ODE’s 2026–28 strategic plan prioritizes stronger math achievement, timely intervention, and acceleration informed by student data. It also calls for Tier 2 and Tier 3 support connected to core instruction.
The Cignition connection
Use small-group tutoring to focus on a defined learning need while keeping classroom goals in view. Share your curriculum sequence and student work so tutors can review prerequisite skills, models, and purposeful questions with your team.
03Attendance, belonging, and engagement
Oregon’s emphasis
Oregon’s Every Day Matters initiative connects attendance with belonging, relationships, family voice, and coordinated support. It asks schools and partners to understand barriers to participation.
The Cignition connection
Plan for consistent access, a stable tutoring routine, and communication when students miss sessions. Attendance and engagement information can support your team’s response, alongside the broader work schools and communities lead.
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 Oregon 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, an Oregon school could consider a separately authorized reading partnership only where the proposed funding and provider-selection rules permit it. Your school provides protected time, technology, and local support. This is a planning illustration; service eligibility and the agreed scope shape any partnership.

The funding source
matters.
Cignition is not listed on ODE’s current Early Literacy Success high-dosage tutoring provider list. School District and Community Grant funds require an approved external tutoring provider, as does the HDT Supplement. For other funding sources, review your district’s approved plan and purchasing requirements with your team and Cignition.
For a separately eligible local program, review the service, budget, tutor qualifications, contract, student-data protections, and onsite support with your district. That review does not establish Early Literacy Success provider approval.
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 Oregon 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 example illustrates one part of Oregon’s grade 7 math standard; it is not a completed, reviewed Oregon curriculum crosswalk.
How would sessions fit our Oregon school day?
Programs can be planned around intervention blocks, before- or after-school schedules, or summer learning. Agree on student access, on-site supervision, devices, attendance follow-up, and a recurring routine with your school team.
Is Cignition on ODE’s early literacy provider list?
Cignition is not on ODE’s current published Early Literacy Success high-dosage tutoring provider list. School District and Community Grant funds, and the HDT Supplement, require an approved external tutoring provider. Other funding sources have their own rules, so confirm your district’s funding and purchasing plan before selecting services.
Can Title I or Student Investment Account funds support tutoring?
Tutoring may fit a district’s approved Title I program or an allowable SIA investment, such as expanded instructional time. Eligibility, student needs, program design, and available district balances matter. Your federal programs or SIA lead should confirm the proposed use before funds are committed.
Which Oregon grant opportunities are open to new applicants?
The current Early Literacy Community Grants cohort has been selected; ODE anticipates a new 2027–29 application opportunity in early 2027. ODE identifies 2028 as the next 21st CCLC competition. School District literacy grants and the HDT Supplement are allocated programs, not general open tutoring grants. Check the linked ODE pages for changes.
