Connecting and equipping Texas literacy programs through resources, training, networking, and advocacy.
关于我们
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.

The Mayor’s Office for Adult Literacy (MOAL) mourns the death on March 4, 2025, of Congressman Sylvester Turner. As Mayor of Houston, Turner was instrumental in the creation of this office which he entrusted to the Houston Public Library for oversight. Mayor Turner’s understanding of the impact of low functional literacy on the life of this city was fundamental to shape the direction of the office. Turner’s support was critical as MOAL worked with the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, the HPL, and dozens of adult literacy providers to design the nation’s first and only strategic plan for adult literacy, the Houston Adult Literacy Blueprint, which he officially adopted in 2021. He actively advocated for the needs of adult literacy providers in Houston and spoke eloquently about literacy with national audiences. Mayor Turner was recognized with the National Adult Education Leadership Award given by the Coalition on Adult Basic Education. MOAL expresses our sincere condolences to Congressman Sylvester Turner’s family and friends.
