The Center for Literacy
Research Projects
Our mission is to improve literacy outcomes by advancing the integration of literacy policy and practice. To this end, we work in partnership with other organizations to coordinate activities, events, projects, and programs that implement innovative literacy and learning practices. We also study and report on the outcomes of each project. You can find reports on our various projects at http://www.centreforliteracy.qc.ca/publications/projects.
