Research indicates that approximately 40% of students nationwide are unable to read at a basic level. As literacy demands increase, teachers across all grade levels are facing growing pressure to deliver effective reading and writing instruction to every student. At the same time, they are provided with critical assessment data meant to highlight individual literacy strengths and needs. While this data is valuable, it can also feel overwhelming without the proper support or training. Now more than ever, it is essential that educators are equipped with the knowledge and tools to deliver differentiated instruction and targeted interventions that meet the diverse needs of their learners.

That’s where Global Literacy Consulting comes in.
We partner with schools and districts to empower educators with research-based strategies, hands-on professional learning, and practical tools that translate data into meaningful instruction. Through workshops, coaching, and customized support, we help teachers build confidence in delivering high-quality literacy instruction — whether it’s foundational reading skills, advanced comprehension, or writing across the curriculum. Our mission is to ensure that every educator feels prepared, every classroom is equipped, and every student has the opportunity to become a successful, empowered reader and writer. 

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.”
