01A connected language and literacy plan, across K–12.
Wyoming’s emphasis
The Wyoming Language and Literacy Act connects evidence-based instruction, screening, diagnostic assessment, intervention, and professional learning across K–12. WDE’s framework includes district literacy plans, individualized reading plans, and regular family communication.
The Cignition connection
Discuss focused ELA instruction around the needs your school identifies. Review proposed lessons, progress information, and tutor qualifications with your literacy team. The school leads its required plans, screening decisions, and family communication.
02Reading support that continues into the secondary years.
Wyoming’s emphasis
Wyoming’s adolescent literacy guidance addresses the demands of increasingly complex texts. It emphasizes targeted support for decoding multisyllabic words, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing, with assessment used to guide next steps.
The Cignition connection
Plan instruction around the reading and language needs your team identifies. Cignition’s upper-grade ELA instruction brings students into text analysis, evidence-based discussion, vocabulary, and clear written or oral responses. Review proposed materials against your school’s goals.
03Tiered intervention. A shared view of what comes next.
Wyoming’s emphasis
Wyoming’s MTSS Center supports a coordinated framework across classrooms, schools, and districts. Its statewide system of support connects school improvement planning, student evidence, instructional decisions, and resource allocation.
The Cignition connection
Build recurring math or ELA tutoring into your intervention plan. Identify the students and skills, connect prerequisite support with classroom learning, and agree on how your team will review participation and progress. Plan devices, connectivity, and local supervision before launch.

What should we look for?
Consider how a learner uses words and text evidence to support an interpretation. 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?

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 Wyoming school could give middle-school students recurring reading and vocabulary support connected to classroom texts and school-team goals. Your school provides protected time, technology, and local support. This is a planning illustration; service eligibility and the agreed scope shape any partnership.

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 Wyoming learning goals?
Start with your school’s learning goals, curriculum sequence, and student work. Review proposed math or ELA lessons, where prerequisite support fits, and how progress will be discussed. The activity on this page is illustrative; it is not a reviewed Wyoming curriculum crosswalk.
How would sessions fit our Wyoming school day?
Discuss your intervention block, grade levels, group sizes, and staffing. Live online tutoring also needs reliable internet, suitable devices, and a supervised learning space. Work through student access and attendance arrangements before launch, including the needs of rural or remote school communities.
Can tutoring support our district’s language and literacy plan?
Discuss the students, skills, and instructional goals your team has identified. Review proposed ELA lessons, tutor qualifications, and progress information against applicable Wyoming requirements and state advisory lists. Your district leads its literacy plan and determines whether a proposed service meets its program’s requirements.
Is the Education Trust Fund accepting applications?
The published FY27 window closed March 5, 2026. WDE lists eligible project categories, a $50,000 award cap, and spending restrictions, including excluded salary costs. Confirm future application dates and whether proposed costs qualify directly with WDE before planning a tutoring-related project.
When is Wyoming’s next after-school grant competition?
WDE announces the 21st CCLC Cohort 17 competition for November 2026. Contact the program team to confirm the application’s release, deadline, eligible applicants, and partnership requirements. A competition announcement is a starting point for planning; review the current application before preparing a proposal.
