Core Reading Program for Elementary
Per amendments to KRS 158.305 as part of Senate Bill 156 (2023), by July 1 2024, 'each superintendent...shall adopt a common comprehensive reading program that is determined by the department to be reliable, valid, and aligned to reading and writing standards...for kindergarten through grade three (3) for all schools or a subset of schools, with consultation of all affected elementary school councils."
In order to provide all elementary students with a High Quality Instructional Resource, it is in the best interest of students to adopt a core reading program for all students in grades Kindergarten through Fifth (5th) grade, as well as, an aligned program to meet the needs of students who require reading interventions and students in the Exceptional Child population.
