Hi, i’m beth york.

Our literacy empowers us to shape our futures.

Our literacy connects us with the broader world and enables us to do great work, whether that work is as a police officer, a doctor, a cosmetologist, a mechanic, an artist or a scientist. Our literacy skills enable us to stay current in our fields, to collaborate and problem-solve effectively and to advocate for change in a manner that preserves and grows important relationships.

That’s why effective communication skills top employers’ wish-lists as they consider prospective hires.

Providing students with literacy experiences that enable them to thrive in their future careers by providing teachers and school districts with the tools that support such learning is my company’s mission.

Look for my book, Literacy That Works, available on Amazon, February 20 2025.
