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.

- delivering expert teaching that is equitable and responsive to children’s strengths and needs
- providing sustained, specialized professional development focused on continuous improvement and literacy leadership
- advancing the development of knowledge and practice based on research, data, and the effectiveness of Literacy Processing Theory.
