Alabama’s reading and math test scores have improved within the last year, but Gov. Kay Ivey reminded the state about her priority to continue that improvement with a series of executive orders.
Ivey has bipartisan support for her focus on crib-to-classroom enrichment. Ivey announced education is her number one priority with a large focus on the age range of birth to 5 years old.
“We’re hearing from families that this gives them that opportunity to read these books and get children excited about reading at a very young age,” said Barbara Cooper, secretary of the department. “We are having the conversations with superintendents with child care programs, with any of the programs that fall within our mix delivery, to have those conversations about how they can offer a First Class Pre-K,” said Cooper.
“Having families really participate as their child’s first teacher and read to them from the very beginning of bringing children home from the hospital is critical,” said Cooper.
