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.
Why Literacy Matters
Just 33% of Pennsylvania’s fourth graders are reading proficiently—a crisis rooted in decades of ineffective teacher training, curricula, and assessments that overlook the scientific evidence. This impacts us all, from student success to the state's future prosperity. Learn more about the urgent need for policy change and how you can help.
