Through the LEARNS Act, the Arkansas Department of Education’s (ADE) Literacy Tutoring Grant Program is offering up to $500 in literacy tutoring services for qualifying families.
According to the ADE more than 20,000 students in grades K-3 are eligible for the program. Students are eligible if they are at risk of reading difficulties, did not score well on state assessments or were retained in the third grade. Districts are to notify parents of eligibility by February 26.
To ensure high-quality tutoring services, ADE reviewed applications from tutoring providers. A list of approved providers is available at https://dese.link/literacy-tutoring-vendors. Parents will then be able to select a vendor from this list.
