Invest in a Child’s Future
Louisiana is facing a literacy crisis.
Only 26% of Louisiana’s 4th grade students are proficient readers. That is unacceptable.
The Center for Literacy and Learning is working across the state with our partners to improve student outcomes, train, coach, and support educators, empower families through at-home reading programs, and champion equitable educational policies. Your donation will ensure Louisiana’s children have every opportunity to learn to read.
Be a part of the change, your monthly donation helps provide books to kids. By gifting $10 a month, you are contributing to a better education for every student in Louisiana. Getting books into the hands of kids is a surefire way to help them reach their full literacy potential. Your gift also helps us to provide better resources, training, and support to educators, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to quality education.
Alice Thomas Memorial Fund
Alice Peale Pierce Thomas was the founder, president, and CEO of The Center for Literacy and Learning. Alice passed away quietly and peacefully on November 3, 2022.
A core mission of social justice drove her strong belief that all children, regardless of how they look, where they come from, or how they learn, can and will achieve school success when provided with highly effective teachers and positive, supportive learning environments.
In founding and growing The Center, Alice changed the lives of countless tens of thousands by permanently changing the nature of education at a local, national, and international level – and by reforming the very way that teachers teach.
