Colleges of Education across Kentucky can now apply for grants to further the Kentucky Reading Project for Read to Achieve. Read to Achieve focuses on ways to improve literacy instruction for students K-through-3 with low reading ability. The program is being administered through the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in partnership with the State Department of Education. Micki Ray is the Kentucky Department’s chief academic officer in the Office of Teaching and Learning. Ray said the aim goes beyond creating a culture and space for reading.
“It would be the instruction methods that would be utilized to ensure that students are able to decode text, to comprehend text, even in some cases around the reading and writing connection,” said Ray.
