BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ILLITERACY

OUR MISSION

At Literary Academy Collective (LAC) we believe access to literacy is the most pressing Civil Rights issue in New York City. Our mission is to build and support a network of NYCPS schools to allow struggling readers to achieve academic success by bringing culturally relevant, structured literacy to students at the intersection of race, poverty, and disability.

Our goal is to break the cycle of illiteracy for students with dyslexia, LBLDs, and other struggling readers. 

This site provides educator-facing resources and materials to support reading, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary instruction.
