The First State is ramping up efforts to improve early reading education with a substantial financial commitment exceeding $8 million aimed at enhancing literacy instruction in schools statewide.
State education officials revealed today that Delaware has secured significant funding through two major sources to support this educational initiative. The funding package includes a $1.9 million State Implementation Fund grant provided by Accelerate, along with an additional $6.1 million in competitive Bridge funding.
This comprehensive investment represents Delaware’s commitment to strengthening foundational reading skills among young students through improved classroom instruction methods and resources.
The Delaware Department of Education emphasized that these coordinated investments will work together to advance the state’s comprehensive approach to early literacy education across all participating schools.
