Early Literacy Professional Development Grant Purpose 

House Bill 18-1393 amendments to the Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act (READ Act) authorized the Early Literacy Grant Annual Professional Development (ELG PD) Program. This grant opportunity is designed to support Colorado educators in implementation of scientifically based reading research (SBRR) programs and strategies for K-3 students. An effort championed by the State Board of Education (SBE), these funds are specifically intended for early literacy professional development for elementary educators. This purpose of this grant is to further support ELG grantees in full implementation of Science of Reading by providing extensive training and a network of support for recommended principal coaches. ​This grant is implemented as a one-year grant cycle. Click the image above to learn more about the ELG PD grant and to access ELG PD resources.
