Reading & Educational Support Services in Kentucky

Reading, literacy, and the Bluegrass State. Academic Edge helps thousands of Kentucky teachers help their learners read better.

Reading can be hard. Helping students read? Even harder. We make it easier in Kentucky.

Whether you are in a big city big district, perhaps a wildcat from Lexington, or a Cardinal from Louisville, or maybe a WKU Hilltopper, or somewhere in the beautiful hills, lakes, and mountains in between, you want your learners to be able to read, in fact to read well, really well, right?

Academic Edge gets that. We help. We love reading and literacy, and we love Kentucky. Many of us were born, raised, and have even taught here our whole lives. We know we are much more than the horse racing state, the Bluegrass state, the Wildcat nation, though of course we are all those and so much more. We are also people who care deeply about our kids, their futures, and we understand that what we do makes a huge difference in their lives.

We know how to make learning more effective, and especially how to make literacy and reading development more effective, and we have the tools Ky schools need to ramp up their learners’ achievement. Did we say easier? You bet.

Symphony Math in Kentucky

Some of you have been asking us for quite awhile if we have a math program like Lexia and Reading Plus. Well, we’re really excited to tell you, YES, WE DO!

Symphony Math Instructional Program

We are now the reseller for Symphony Math, a program that covers the math curriculum for K through 5th grade. As such, it is also very effective for struggling 6th graders and above who need help before going to pre-algebra. Integrating the Growth Mindset Ideas of Carol Dweck, the driving force is, I don’t understand that part of Math

For those of you using Lexia, you will be very comfortable as it looks and feels like Lexia: assessment, instruction, a dashboard with real time reports for making instruction decisions.

Our normal evaluation period is offered for this program also; and, of course our fantastic PD and support come with it.
