KVEC’s corporate partner at WIN Learning has made a significant donation of 14,000 “The Valley of Rhyme” books and posters which will be distributed to K-5 students in the KVEC school districts. KVEC has been a partner with WIN Learning since 2011, providing career readiness solutions to help school districts prepare pathways for students’ futures, whether they are college, trade school, military or workplace bound. We are very appreciative of Dr. Teresa C. Chasteen Ph.D., President & CEO at WIN Learning for contributing books our children will enjoy into adulthood.
On November 28th, 2017, teachers and principals from different school districts partnered with KVEC picked up books for their schools. Within the first week, November 28th-December 1st, over half the books had been distributed. 8,540 of 14,000 “The Valley of Rhyme” books were on the way to be enjoyed by multiple students across Eastern Kentucky.
Over the following two weeks, all 14,000 books were distributed to schools. KVEC Literacy Instructional Specialist Carole Mullins developed lesson leads built on standards that can be addressed through the book by teachers and guardians.
