The Mississippi Department of Education’s Office of Elementary Education and Reading, Division of Literacy, would like to celebrate Mississippi educators through an annual recognition of Emerging Science of Reading Schools. Application deadline is April 1.
This recognition is for schools that have trained teachers in the science of reading, exemplified a change of instructional practices and embodied a school culture that focuses on building skillful, strong readers in kindergarten through grade 3.
Mississippi educators share a deep commitment to supporting student literacy gains, which includes dedicated participation in the LETRS© (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) science of reading professional learning course.
To apply for recognition, complete the Mississippi Emerging Science of Reading Application by April 1. While completing the application for your school, indicate teachers and administrators who have completed LETRS training, and tell us how reading instruction and your school culture have been impacted.
