In 2022, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) created the Kentucky Reading Academies, a partnership between KDE and Lexia's Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS), to provide educators and administrators with 2-year professional learning on evidence-based early literacy instruction. Pulaski County Schools has 55 dedicated teachers who successfully completed LETRS training in Fall 2024. This achievement reflects their unwavering commitment to advancing early literacy education in Pulaski County. To celebrate this milestone, we were honored to have Ashley Hill, KDE Assistant Director of Early Literacy, join us on Monday, October 14th.
