Who Are We?

We are a group of 200+ literacy educators from all around Australia.

We are all passionate early literacy advocates.

We support the Adelaide Declaration on National Goals for Schooling in Australia
- agreed to by the Commonwealth and all State and Territory Governments.

Most of us work as teachers, principals, consultants in schools, or lecturers in teacher education. Many of us are authors of children's books and teacher reference books. Many of us are sought as speakers at state, national and international conferences. Our members include presidents and past-presidents of ALEA (Australian Literacy Educators Association), PETA (Primary English Teaching Association) and AATE (Australian Association for the Teaching of English).

We believe that educators deserve accurate information about literacy standards and literacy teaching and learning.
