The Online Academy was developed for teachers across Kansas who were not able to attend the
Kansas Reading Academy. This resource can also be used by those who attended a Summer Academy but would like to see a portion of the content again. In addition, school administrators and literacy coaches can access the Online Kansas Reading Academy in order to facilitate professional development opportunities for their staff.
The Online Kansas Reading Academy is designed to be interactive. You will participate in a variety of structures such
as PowerPoint presentations, video clips, group activities, and professional readings.
