Literacy Advocacy Toolkits or Life-Changer Essays and Reviews

Each Literacy Champion has written a Literacy Advocacy Toolkit that captures their expertise and best practice guidance so all those who are working to support children as readers, writers, and learners don’t have to reinvent the wheel. The research-informed understandings, insights, and practices represented in our downloadable Toolkits have been thoroughly field-tested in classrooms, homes, and community organizations serving children across the states and beyond.
