Foundation for 

Learning and Literacy

For Families

For families navigating sometimes overwhelming and contradictory advice about education, the Foundation serves as a trusted, evidence-based anchor.

Our collection of resources is curated to cut through the noise and connect families to open access strategies and resources that support them to encourage their child’s development and love for reading and writing.

Educators don’t expect families to teach children to read, that’s a teacher’s job, but we do know that support and encouragement at home makes a big impact on a child’s identity as a reader. And it also brings great joy and connection to both adult and child.
