Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy Launch

The Faculty of Education and Arts invites you to join us for the launch of the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy. We believe that every student can learn to read and write if the instruction they receive is based on the best scientific evidence available. The Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy is committed to understanding how people learn to read and write, and to translating that knowledge into effective teaching practices. We envision an Australia where every student leaving school has the literacy skills they need to pursue their dreams and contribute to the common good.

'Cultivating Tomorrow's Readers: The Future of Early Literacy Education' is an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion that brings together educators and researchers to explore the ever-evolving landscape of early literacy instruction.

Prof. Rauno Parrila, Director of the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy, will chair the panel of experts including Prof. Genevieve McArthur, Prof. Anne Castles, Prof. Don Compton, and Assoc. Prof. Saskia Kohnen (Macquarie University).
