Welcome to PA’s Literacy Movement

Every child deserves to learn how to read and write. Every educator deserves the tools to teach them.

We’re fighting for bold, statewide legislation rooted in the science of reading to transform literacy outcomes across Pennsylvania.

Our goal? To make Pennsylvania a leader in literacy growth—ensuring every student has the freedom to thrive and chart their own path.

Join us in changing the tide.
