About us
Literacy Texas is the statewide literacy coalition, connecting and equipping Texas literacy providers with resources, training, networking, and advocacy. We believe every person in Texas has a right to literacy. We understand that literacy is more than just reading and writing: it is competency and understanding; it is achieving goals to reach our full potential as members of our shared society. We provide leadership, professional development, and support to community-based organizations providing literacy services, and to adult education programs throughout the state to build capacity and improve literacy levels in Texas. Our vision is that every literacy organization in Texas will have the resources it needs to help as many people as possible learn basic literacy skills in order to participate fully in society. Literacy Texas members work tirelessly across all corners of this great state. We support them through strong key services including a flagship conference featuring best practices for adult educators. Additionally, Literacy Texas offers a series of free, one-day symposia held throughout the state in partnership with local literacy organizations. We have a special focus on providing professional development for tutors, staff, instructors, and volunteers at nonprofit organizations providing adult literacy services. Literacy Texas encourages and incubates literacy groups around the state to increase their capacity through collaboration. At the state level, we advocate on behalf of the adult education community to ensure their voices are heard in all areas of business and government.

There's a new survey of adult skills! And you can be among the first to hear the findings. The 2023 Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) provides a comprehensive overview of adults’ literacy, numeracy, and adaptive problem-solving skills – skills that are fundamental for personal, economic, and societal development. These skills provide the foundation for access to employment, higher wages and continuous learning, while enabling individuals to navigate the complexities of their personal and civic lives.
