Focusing On Students Through Our TeachersDelaware is facing a literacy emergency. Historic levels of teacher shortages combined with the lingering impact of the COVID-19 disruption have left our students vulnerable and led to declining levels of reading proficiency.
ILA’s resources empower educators by bridging reading science and classroom practice. With your support, we can expand access to evidence-based professional learning, ensuring educators have what they need to improve student outcomes.
In addition to championing
Children’s Rights to Excellent Literacy Instruction, ILA advocates for
Children’s Rights to Read. Your donations help us advance our mission and ensure that every child, everywhere, has access to the education, opportunities, and resources they need to become successful readers.
Every gift matters. We thank you for your support!
