Announcing the First Statewide Kentucky Reading Academies for K-5 Educators!
A child’s ability to read is a critical predictor of both educational and lifelong success. Kentucky’s youngest readers must have every opportunity to develop their literacy skills, but as our schools tackle unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers must have unprecedented support.
In response to this critical need, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has a new, exciting partnership to bring the Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) professional learning (PL) to educators across the Commonwealth, called the Kentucky Reading Academies. This course of study was specifically chosen because of its demonstrated success on a national scale in bringing significant increases in literacy achievement.
The Kentucky Reading Academies will offer comprehensive no-cost professional learning in three phases starting in fall 2022, beginning with up to 2,400 K-5 educators.
Join us for a live informational webinar on April 19 at 4 p.m. ET to learn more!
