Black Literacy Matters Conference 2026


Join us for the 3rd Annual Black Literacy Matters® Conference — a national gathering of parents, educators, researchers, policymakers, literacy advocates, community leaders, and international partners committed to changing the trajectory of Black student literacy for the first time since post-slavery gains.

The Black Literacy Matters® Conference centers Black literacy by focusing on evidence-based instructional practices that address long-standing gaps in reading instruction and improve outcomes for students who have historically been underserved. Sessions are grounded in research and aligned with federal and state education priorities
