Steps to Literacy Modules Build on Maine's Extensive Efforts to Support Literacy Instruction

Augusta, ME-To support educators in providing evidence-based literacy instruction, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) announced that all K-5 educators have free access to high-quality literacy modules through June of 2025. Educators who complete the modules by August 23, 2024, will be eligible to receive a stipend for each completed module.

These literacy modules build on the work of the Maine DOE to support literacy instruction across Maine, including the $10 million in grant funding for schools to develop, expand, and enhance evidence-based core literacy instruction and targeted interventions for Maine students announced earlier this year.

"We're excited to offer these modules at no cost to Maine educators. Educators can delve into evidence-backed literacy instruction topics at their own pace and choose the professional learning modules that best fit their needs," said Maine Education Commissioner Pender Makin.

A module to highlight is Module 8: Specialized Reading Knowledge Bundle - English Learners (11 Hours)

Develop the specialized knowledge required to accelerate language and literacy proficiency for English Learners in any program model with immediate instructional applications with AIM's newest course created in collaboration with literacy researcher Dr. Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan.
