Literacy League CoP
The Literacy League Community of Practice is a technical exchange networking platform for leading global and local organizations focused on the appropriate and scalable uses of EdTech to support foundational literacy.
Members of the Literacy League Community of Practice actively collaborate to strengthen foundational literacy outcomes through evidence-based approaches, peer learning, and collective action—particularly in lower-resource and multilingual contexts. Together, members:
- Exchange evidence and practice through quarterly technical dialogues, peer-to-peer advisory support, and shared resources focused on foundational literacy, early-grade reading, language of instruction, assessment, and technology
- Strengthen professional capacity through workshops, webinars, and expert-led discussions on literacy instruction, assessment, and system-level implementation
- Build collaboration and mentorship by connecting literacy practitioners, researchers, implementers, and organizations across diverse contexts
- Amplify and advocate for what works, elevating proven, scalable literacy solutions and advancing early, inclusive reading and language development
Since 2020, we’ve hosted quarterly dialogues on a wide range of topics. Scroll down to see our CoP members, and feel free to reach out at medalliance@meducationalliance.org if you’re interested in joining!

Annual Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Landscape Reports
Each year, the Literacy League brings together the collective experiences, achievements, and aspirations of our partners through the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Landscape Report. This annual publication is designed to strengthen collaboration across our Community of Practice (CoP) by showcasing the impactful work being carried out to advance foundational literacy and numeracy outcomes.
The FLN Landscape Report highlights key activities implemented by CoP members over the past year and captures their goals and priorities for the year ahead. By sharing these insights, the report serves as a valuable resource that not only celebrates progress but also inspires shared learning, innovation, and future partnerships across our network.
