Unlocking potential through literacy because EVERY student deserves a future.
Literacy Advantage recognizes the serious academic struggles of secondary students who due to reading challenges are failing to master the content knowledge and skills that are fundamental to grade level success.
Without proper evidence-based instruction and intervention directed at improving their literacy capacities, these students are at risk of falling further behind each academic year, detrimentally impacting their future employment readiness.
At Literacy Advantage, we’re grounded in the science of reading—bringing proven, practical, and effective instructional strategies to the classroom. Our approach equips educators with the tools they need to build essential literacy skills and foster a love for learning.
We invite you to collaborate with us in creating classrooms where adolescents thrive. Our work supports teachers in embracing text complexity and engaging students with rich knowledge-building texts through expert modeling and thoughtfully designed questions that elevate student thinking and promote deep comprehension.
Through evidence-based discussions and collaborative reasoning, we help you to cultivate a vibrant, social learning environment that leads teachers to create tasks that challenge students to think critically and creatively, move them to deeper levels of understanding, and encourages them to invest in discovery and take ownership of their learning.
That is why Literacy Advantage provides tailored solutions for secondary school leaders aiming for growth and success.
With proven experience in various school environments, we offer a range of services to help teachers and leaders achieve impactful results.
Let’s work together to empower teachers and inspire students—partner with Literacy Advantage to lead this essential work in adolescent literacy to enhance student literacy skills so that they progress to become strong, independent learners who can read intelligently and communicate effectively.
