The Senate Resolution 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. It 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. The resolution acknowledges the challenges posed by dyslexia and emphasizes the foundational role of literacy in 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 achievement, thanks in part to the efforts of The Center for Literacy and Learning.

Additionally, the resolution designates May 13, 2025, as Literacy Day at the Louisiana State Capitol to celebrate these achievements and the ongoing work of The Center for Literacy and Learning. The organization has been instrumental in implementing evidence-based practices, advocating for literacy commissions, and launching programs aimed at improving literacy outcomes for students and engaging families in the educational process. The resolution underscores the importance of literacy in fostering a strong workforce and supporting long-term economic growth in the state.
