K.S.A 72-5153 (d) At-Risk Funds Information
Dear Kansas School District Administor,
​
We are excited to share that on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, the Kansas State Board of Education officially added "Alphabetic Phonics (Phillips Fundamental Learning Center)" to the KSDE APPROVED List of State At-Risk Evidence-Based Programs (see Page 1 highlighted text shown above).
This victory is yours. Your letters, calls, and advocacy helped ensure that Kansas today recognizes Structured Literacy, science-based reading programs — essential methodology proven to help all children, including those with dyslexia, learn to read, write and spell.
Thank you for continuing to search for meaningful literacy instructional programs necessary to teach the hundreds-of-thousands of children in our state.
​
We know you share our passion: All kids reading...all kids succeeding.
Best,
Phillips Fundamental Learning Center
