Kylie Altier, of McKinley Elementary School, has received a grant from the Academic Distinction Fund for her new reading initiative, “Read with Kylie.” The free initiative includes physical kits for students to check out and a website where parents can teach their children the foundational skills of reading. Altier, the 2024 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, walks through every step of a 20-minute low-prep, high-impact nightly home routine that has helped her succeed in her classroom for 11 years and with her own 4-year-old!
