The Literacy Council of North America is a nonprofit network of educators, school leaders, and advocates united by one mission: to ensure every child becomes a confident, capable reader and writer.
We champion comprehensive literacy instruction—grounded in peer-reviewed research, responsive to diverse student needs, and shaped by real classroom experience. Our work centers on evidence-based interventions, professional learning, and policy advocacy that elevate literacy outcomes across North America.
What We Do
Support Educators
We provide teachers and school leaders with high-impact tools, resources, and professional development that translate research into practice.
Elevate Evidence
We promote literacy practices backed by strong research and tested in real schools—because students deserve strategies that work.
Drive Change
Through partnerships, advocacy, and outreach, we influence systems and policies that support equitable, effective literacy instruction for all.
