Awards were given at the elementary and middle-school levels, and at the high-school level based on the American Literature EOC, which is the state test for ELA in high school.
Throughout the fall, Superintendent Woods will visit schools identified as Literacy Leaders to recognize and congratulate them.
“Georgia educators are embracing the science of reading and structured literacy," GaDOE Director of Literacy Amy Denty said. “The Literacy Leaders recognition honors the dedication, commitment, and hard work of our students, teachers, and leaders. Together, we can ensure all children in Georgia learn to read well. I'm excited to see how our schools continue to grow and excel in the literacy arena."
