Welcome to the
Kentucky
Reading Association (KRA)!
KRA is a nonprofit affiliate of the
International Reading Association (www.reading.org), a professional organization
aimed at promoting reading for all. KRA is one of the largest state professional
organizations. Members of KRA represent a dedicated body of educators interested
in moving reading/literacy forward in the Commonwealth. Becoming a member of KRA
affords educators with opportunities to network and learn about the most current
research and instructional practices in reading/literacy. KRA has local councils
in all areas of the state. Participating in local council activity is one way to
tap into the multiple advantages of being a KRA member.
KRA hosts an annual conference which
draws the most prestigious reading researchers and practitioners to the state to
share their expertise with our attendees. In addition to a reduced conference rate,
KRA members also receive an annual journal and mini-grant opportunities for K-12
teachers interested in promoting reading/literacy in their classrooms. KRA members
are also involved in international literacy development and state and national literacy
advocacy issues to fulfill our mission of “To be a voice for literacy.”
KRA anticipates continued growth as
the nation and state focus on reading/literacy issues. We ask you to join our team
as we strive to bring the KRA’s voice to life.
