This first-grader couldn’t read when he moved from California. Here’s how his Alabama school helped.
By May, 25 of her 34 teachers, counting herself, will have completed LETRS training. The remainder will finish in 2023. Liam’s first grade teacher Jordan Rivers is in her second year of the two-year training program, offered to all teachers in Alabama as required under the Literacy Act.
Culpepper said they poured resources into helping Liam because it’s easier to do that in the early grades. Typically, more money is spent on high school grades in order to offer those students more academic and extracurricular opportunities. Now, she said, he can complete the entire exercise in less than two minutes, the standard timing for a first-grader. Liam demonstrated that feat when AL.com visited the school in March.
