    The Kentucky Reading Project (KRP) is a professional development program that focuses on Senate Bill 1 (2009) mandates, Kentucky Core Academic Standards, college and career readiness preparation, and formative assessments.

    KRP is a yearlong graduate-level course centered on research-based reading instruction. It is taught by literacy faculty at each of the eight state universities. Teachers in grades K-5 may participate in KRP and will receive a stipend and graduate credit upon completion of the course in May 2013. The National Center for Family Literacy provides one day of training at each site. This initiative is directed by the Collaborative Center for Literacy Development; over 2,900 educators have been trained through this program in 13 years.
