FLA is a professional organization comprised of educators and literacy experts striving to equip all teachers with tools to improve reading and literacy in all classrooms. As a statewide organization, FLA’s goal is to inspire all teachers with our annual conference and local councils.

FLA recognizes impactful classroom teachers and literacy coaches with annual awards presented at our annual conference. The Children’s Book Award, the FLA Teacher of the Year Award and the Joye Coy Shaffer Past President’s Scholarship are all ways FLA esteems educators each year.

Each year we have the privilege of providing professional learning opportunities to our members through our published journals, on virtual platforms, and through our face-to-face conference.  Educators from all over the state take advantage of the chance to grow professionally through reading, hearing from dynamic speakers and authors, and engaging with one another online and in-person. More information can be found by clicking on the tabs for the conference, virtual learning series, and publications.

FLA provides resources in the form of white papers and newsletters for all teachers as well as opportunities to hear from experts at the annual conference.
