The American Literacy Corporation is a non-profit organization founded in 1992 by Dr. Jo M. Stanchfield and dedicated to improving literacy skills in the nation. They recognize and reward certificated educators who significantly increase the literacy levels of their students, believing that teachers are the key to improving listening, speaking, critical thinking, reading, and writing skills.
The organization grants The Outstanding Contributions to Literacy Award to excellent teachers who show the greatest literacy improvement in grades TK-8, providing awards of $2,000 to the educators and a $500 grant to the winner's school for reading or language arts activities or materials. They also offer free lessons and strategies on their website for TK-8 instructors using Read Aloud Strategies and selected children's literature.
