01Early literacy. Make the next step specific.
West Virginia’s emphasis
The Third Grade Success Act places science-of-reading instruction, K–3 screening, individual reading improvement plans, and family communication at the center of early literacy support. It also provides for targeted instruction and extended learning when students need more help.
The Cignition connection
Start with the reading skills your school team has identified. Review proposed tutoring alongside the student’s improvement plan and classroom materials, with a clear role for additional practice and feedback.
02Numeracy. Give mathematics equal attention.
West Virginia’s emphasis
West Virginia’s early-learning legislation addresses mathematics as well as reading. It calls for approved K–3 mathematics screeners, support for students with numeracy difficulties, and extended-day or extended-year reading and math programs.
The Cignition connection
Connect a specific mathematics need with visual models, purposeful questions, and opportunities to explain. Agree on how tutoring will complement classroom instruction and how the team will review students’ next steps.

03Tiered support. Connect learning and participation.
West Virginia’s emphasis
The West Virginia Tiered System of Support brings academic, behavioral, and attendance needs into one framework. It encourages flexible use of resources so schools can respond to the support students need.
The Cignition connection
Plan recurring tutoring time, onsite support for virtual sessions, and follow-up when students miss a session. Review participation alongside learning evidence so the school team can adjust support.

What should we look for?
Consider how a learner represents quantities, compares ideas, and explains an answer. 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia school could add focused elementary mathematics time alongside its county’s core instruction and required intervention process. Your school provides protected time, technology, and local support. This is a planning illustration; service eligibility and the agreed scope shape any partnership.

Turn the instructional need into a workable plan.
Your school team
Identify the students and reading or math goals, share classroom and screening information, and protect recurring time. Your team names an onsite contact and checks devices, connectivity, and the proposed use of school funds.
The Cignition team
Your program manager coordinates planning with your school. Cignition prepares tutor assignments, small groups, instructional materials, and launch arrangements around your West Virginia school’s early reading and mathematics, student evidence, and county-led support.
Keep the session focused and students connected.
Your school team
Help students join on time, maintain a supervised learning space, and support participation or connection issues. Classroom teachers continue core instruction; tutoring provides additional targeted learning time.
The Cignition team
Experienced, carefully vetted tutors lead live virtual instruction using Cignition’s purpose-built curriculum, questions, models, and discussion. They respond to student work and record attendance, participation, and learning information.
Use the information. Keep the conversation going.
Your school team
Share classroom observations and school assessment context, review participation with your onsite contact, and identify questions about student learning or the routine.
The Cignition team
Your program manager shares participation and learning information and coordinates follow-up. Cignition’s instructional and implementation teams use that information with your school to consider grouping, learning targets, or scheduling adjustments.
West Virginia funding landscape
Understand the investment.
Find a relevant pathway.
West Virginia’s early-literacy and numeracy requirements make funding design especially important. Review state and local support alongside supplemental federal funds, then connect each expense with an approved purpose. Existing out-of-school grants offer another route to explore.

Who / what it supports
Title I-A supports schools serving communities with high numbers or percentages of children from low-income families. Schoolwide and targeted-assistance programs have different planning and student-service requirements.
Where tutoring could fit
Discuss supplemental reading or mathematics support within the school’s approved program. Keep the proposed students, service model, and instructional purpose connected to the needs the school has identified.
Practical next step: Ask the county’s federal programs team to confirm eligible services, available balance, procurement, and the distinction between required services and supplemental support.

State and local funding · County implementation requirements
Who / what it supports
The Third Grade Success Act supports early literacy and numeracy. Required services, staffing, and assessment purchases have specific rules; a state allocation is not automatically an outside tutoring budget.
Where tutoring could fit
Review any proposed service with county instructional and finance leaders. WVDE distinguishes state and local support for minimum requirements from eligible supplemental services that federal funds may support.
Practical next step: Confirm the service scope, funding restrictions, required personnel qualifications, and any supplemental role before selecting a provider.

Who / what it supports
West Virginia’s 21st CCLC program supports learning during non-school hours, especially for students in high-poverty and low-performing schools, alongside enrichment and family learning.
Where tutoring could fit
Tutoring is an eligible type of academic activity. An active grantee can review whether a proposed service fits its approved program, student population, delivery arrangements, and remaining funds.
Practical next step: Start with the current grantee. Confirm service hours, allowable costs, virtual delivery, and any necessary approval before including tutoring in the award.

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 the Third Grade Success Act?
Start with the reading or numeracy needs your school has identified and the role of additional instruction. Review the proposed lessons, student plans, required services, and staff qualifications with the county team. Tutoring should complement the school’s implementation plan.
Can we combine state and federal funds?
WVDE’s guidance allows carefully planned braiding of eligible funds. State and local resources cover the minimum requirements identified in the guidance; federal funds can supplement within each program’s purpose. Your county’s finance team should confirm the treatment of each proposed expense.
Are there grants for out-of-school tutoring?
An active 21st CCLC award may support tutoring as part of its approved out-of-school program. Work with the grantee to check scope, delivery, and available funds. This page does not list a new open competition or imply that an existing award is available to every county.
Would this support fit within our tiered system?
Use the school’s student evidence and existing support process to define the tutoring goal. Agree on regular sessions, local coordination, and how participation and instructional progress will inform the team’s next decision.
Can we explore lessons before discussing a program?
Yes. The Content Library includes math and ELA grade-band samples. Explore the instructional approach, then discuss the curriculum and West Virginia standards connections your school needs. These examples do not establish a comprehensive state alignment crosswalk.
What if I’m looking for help for my own child?
This page focuses on school and district partnerships. For tutoring arranged directly by a family, explore Cignition’s family plans and discuss your child’s learning goals, grade level, and scheduling needs.
