A Message from our Oklahoma Literacy Association Chair,

Welcome, fellow literacy champions! |

We're absolutely thrilled you've landed on the Oklahoma Literacy Association website! If you're passionate about igniting a love of reading and writing in Oklahoma students, you're in the right place. The Oklahoma Literacy Association is a vibrant community of K-20 teachers and teacher-educators who believe in the power of literacy to transform lives.
Our mission is simple: to empower educators like you to cultivate strong, joyful readers, writers, and leaders in every classroom across Oklahoma. We know that literacy is the foundation for success in school, at work, and in life, and we're dedicated to equipping you with the tools and resources you need to make a real difference.
How do we do this? Through incredible events and a supportive network! We host an annual in-person spring conference brimming with inspiring speakers, innovative strategies, and the latest research in literacy education. Our summer leadership series provides opportunities for more specialized professional growth and collaboration in a Zoom setting and is often supplemented with a summer book club series where we take a dive deep into thought-provoking texts that will fuel your passion for teaching. Plus, you can stay informed and inspired through our peer-reviewed journal, The Oklahoma Reader.
Becoming a member of the Oklahoma Literacy Association connects you with a passionate community of educators, provides access to reduced or free registration for our events, and gives you a voice in shaping the future of literacy in Oklahoma.
Ready to join us in celebrating and empowering literacy? Explore our website to learn more about our events, resources, and membership benefits. We can't wait to welcome you to the OKLA family!
Warmly,
Dana Oliver Chair, Oklahoma Literacy Association
