SAVE THE DATE! The Florida Literacy Association's 62nd Annual Literacy Conference will be January 22nd through the 24th @ The Florida Hotel & Conference Center in Orlando. Florida's future begins with #literacy. We cannot wait to lead the way forward together in 2027!

"Multisensory teaching links listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is a simultaneous linkage of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-motor that reinforces the close relationships between letter production and letter perception." -Beverly J. Wolf #literacy
