The Literacy Advisory Committee was established by the Kansas Legislature to monitor progress of literacy training for in-service and preservice teachers and literacy education of elementary and secondary students. The Committee designates best practices for literacy training for in-service and pre-service teachers and literacy education of elementary and secondary students.
The Committee is responsible for the attainment of the transformational goals created by the Blueprint, and makes recommendations for achieving those goals to the Director for Literacy, the Board of Regents, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature. The Committee will also submit annual progress reports to the Legislature.
The Advisory Committee is developing a plan for the establishment of Centers of Excellence in Reading.
