Gov. Holcomb is staying true to his promise to bolster literacy here in Indiana





 

John,



Last week, Governor Holcomb and Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner joined
the Lilly Endowment Inc. to announce Indiana’s largest investment in literacy
programs EVER.



Staying true to Eric’s promise to Hoosiers, Indiana is renewing its commitment
to supporting literacy under Governor Holcomb with a MASSIVE $111 million grant
from the state and the Lilly Endowment.



This combined investment will support early literacy development using proven
teaching strategies aligned with the Science of Reading.



The state of Indiana will use funds to…

* Support the deployment of instructional coaches to schools throughout
Indiana
* Offer stipends to teachers who participate in professional development
focused on the Science of Reading
* Provide targeted support for students who need the most help in improving
their reading skills
* Create a literacy center focused on Science of Reading strategies
John, under Governor Holcomb’s leadership, Indiana is investing in the future
and keeping our sights set on becoming one of the top states in America for
education.



Needless to say, he’s very excited about Indiana’s partnership with the Lilly
Endowment:



“Lilly Endowment’s incredible investment today represents a long-term
commitment to Indiana’s long-term success … Reading is fundamental to each
student’s lifelong opportunities, and it’s foundational to the core of our
state’s future. This immense investment will make an enduring impact on our
youngest generation of Hoosiers, empowering them with fundamental skills that
they will carry with them throughout their lives." – Governor Eric Holcomb



This investment is a HUGE victory for Hoosiers and yet ANOTHER massive
contribution to Indiana’s future from a nationally-acclaimed company.



Governor Holcomb can’t wait to see how it positively impacts the education of
millions of Hoosiers for years to come.



Thanks for your support!



– Holcomb Crew
