Senate Resolution No. by Senator Mizell commends The Center for Literacy and Learning for its significant contributions to advancing literacy across Louisiana and recognizes the state's remarkable improvement in fourth-grade literacy rates. The resolution highlights the critical importance of reading proficiency for students, noting that those who struggle with reading are at a higher risk of dropping out of school. It acknowledges the challenges posed by dyslexia and emphasizes that literacy is essential for academic success and personal empowerment. In 2024, Louisiana made historic strides in literacy, moving from forty-second to sixteenth in national rankings for fourth-grade reading, thanks in part to the efforts of The Center for Literacy and Learning.

The resolution also outlines the Center's extensive work over the past thirty-three years, including the implementation of evidence-based instructional practices, professional development for educators, and initiatives aimed at engaging families in literacy education. It recognizes the establishment of the Early Literacy Commission and the Louisiana Literacy Advisory Commission, which play crucial roles in shaping literacy policies in the state. To celebrate these achievements and promote ongoing literacy efforts, the resolution designates May 13, 2025, as Literacy Day at the Louisiana State Capitol and calls for a copy of the resolution to be sent to The Center for Literacy and Learning.
