Literacy is the foundation of opportunity, and ensuring every Kansan has access to high-quality, evidence-based reading instruction is a responsibility we all share. When students struggle to read, it impacts not just their academic success, but their confidence, future careers, and contributions to their communities. The Kansas Literacy Coalition brings together educators, families, organizations, and advocates who believe that reading is a right, not a privilege. We are committed to working collaboratively to close opportunity gaps and elevate literacy outcomes across our state. Now more than ever, your voice and your involvement matter. Together, we can build a future where every Kansas student is empowered to read, learn, and thrive.
We advocate for improved resources, teacher training, and evidence-aligned reading instruction to ensure all students — including those with dyslexia — have the support they need to become confident, capable readers.
All Kansas students will have equitable access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction that empowers them to become confident, capable readers. Through a united commitment among educators, families, and communities, every child, regardless of background or circumstance, will receive the support and opportunity they need to achieve literacy success and reach their full potential.
The members of the KLC are a diverse group of educators, leaders, organizations, and advocates united by a shared commitment to advancing literacy for all. Together, we are dedicated to ensuring equitable access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction for every learner across the state. By collaborating across sectors and communities, we work collectively to fulfill our mission.
