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.
