Who can participate?
Monthly meetings and events are open to educators, families, librarians, and advocates who want to learn, share, and support literacy initiatives.
How can I get involved?
You can attend coalition meetings, join advocacy efforts with local and state leaders, contribute to our resource sharing, or volunteer for specific initiatives.
How can I support my child if they are struggling with reading?
The coalition shares resources grounded in the science of reading, including practical strategies and recorded presentations. We also connect families with local supports, schools, and community partners who can help.
What should I know about how my school teaches reading?
Ask whether your school uses evidence-based, systematic instruction aligned with the science of reading. Our coalition provides guidance and tools that can help you start that conversation with teachers and administrators.
