Literacy Academy Collective


  • About Us

    At Literacy Academy Collective (LAC) we believe access to literacy is the most pressing Civil Rights issue in New York City. Our goal is to build a network of public schools that will allow children with dyslexia, LBLDs, and other struggling readers to achieve academic success. We aim to bring culturally relevant, structured literacy to students at the intersection of race, poverty, and disability. Our schools will serve as labs for evidence-based practice and innovation in teaching, affecting students, teachers, and leadership in each borough of NYC.
