Language and literacy are the foundation of social, academic and occupational success. The 25% of Canadian adults, who can barely read simple printed materials, cannot share in that lifetime success. In most cases, adult communication deficiencies can be traced back to early childhood. This is the focus of The Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network.

Valuable work has been done and continues today in solving language and literacy deficiencies, however, too much of this work is done in isolation. Too many walls exist between the science, the policies and the services provided for our children.

It is our goal to help in the generation, integration and dissemination of good science and make that knowledge available without bias to the professionals who serve our children.
