Kentucky Literacy Research Symposium

The Collaborative Center for Literacy Development, the Carol Lee Robertson Endowment, and the Kentucky Reading Association are co-sponsoring the sixth Kentucky Literacy Research Symposium, which will be held on May 13, 2010 in Lexington, Kentucky. Details about this particular event are being refined and will be made available once finalized. Please consider visiting this page after the first of the year to obtain information.

The purpose of this event is to bring the foremost thinkers and researchers in the field of literacy research to Kentucky to address issues of national, state, and local importance. This event will serve as a springboard for future initiatives in which Kentucky is showcased and viewed nationally as a literacy "think tank" where scholars, researchers, and practitioners come together to critically examine and discuss issues in literacy research and practice.
