Our Policy Priorities

We advance bipartisan, evidence-based policies and sustainable investment so every child in Pennsylvania has the opportunity
to learn to read and thrive.

Policy to Practice.

Strong Readers. Stronger Pennsylvania.

Our North Star

Pennsylvania will be the fastest-improving state in the nation
in fourth-grade reading by 2036.

Literacy is the foundation for academic success, economic opportunity, healthy communities, and a stronger democracy.


Our 2027 Priorities

Why These Priorities Matter

Pennsylvania has made real progress through bipartisan literacy laws. But passing policy is
only the first step.

To deliver results for kids, we must fund what works, prepare educators, and ensure strong implementation statewide.

Our priorities are the bridge between policy and practice.

Pennsylvania fourth graders are not proficient in reading.

We can – and must – do better.
