UKLA are a membership association with a focus on advancing literacy education which enables all learners, regardless of background or context, to thrive as literate individuals. Our view is that literacy encompasses spoken language, reading and writing, including digital and multimodal texts. We strive to facilitate a rich dialogue between educators and researchers, fostering a deep understanding of evolving pedagogies and innovative teaching and learning strategies. As a membership organisation, we are a community committed to fostering collaborative relationships with literacy educators, communities, and stakeholders; and as a subject association, we promote best practice in literacy education, informed by research evidence and the insight of literacy professionals.
