Resources

The following resources have been developed by the Collaborative Center for Literacy Development to provide Kentucky's educators, legislators, policymakers, curriculum designers, researchers, and administrators with comprehensive research and decision making tools.

CCLD Clearinghouse

The legislation responsible for the inception of the Collaborative Center for Literacy Development outlined a number of charges, one particular mandate was that CCLD would research, develop, and maintain a clearinghouse of literacy resources that can be accessed by educators. The clearinghouse includes a search engine whereby users can input keywords to identify resources. CCLD continues to investigate and compile resources to add to the clearinghouse, ensuring continual viability and growth of the clearinghouse.

Literacy Assessment Evaluation Tool

CCLD has developed a web-based tool that educators can use to help make decisions about commercially-produced literacy assessments. The purpose of the tool is to inform educators about the appropriateness of various measures that can be used to assess literacy skills and how they align with the Kentucky Department of Education's Primary Diagnostic Guidelines.

Literacy Links

Although not developed in house, the resource above contains links to outside websites that align with the mission of CCLD to promote literacy and address the needs of learners across the commonwealth.
