Required Reading Training

ACT 20 requires that by July 1, 2025, all individuals employed as a 5K through grade 3 teacher or reading teacher will need to begin a reading training program endorsed by the Center for Effective Reading Instruction as an accredited independent teacher training program. Educators who teach 5K through grade 3 reading, including reading teachers, special education teachers, and teachers of multilingual learners in public school districts and independent charter schools all must receive this training.

Currently, our staff in the aforementioned positions, in addition to our administrative staff, have either completed the KEYS to Beginning Reading training or the LETRS training. These comprehensive training modules and sessions began in Spring 2024. As new professional staff are added to our elementary team, we will continue to make sure they are appropriately trained as required.
