Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR)

The Florida Center for Reading Research is a leading research institution dedicated to advancing literacy instruction and assessment for students in Florida and across the nation. Based in Tallahassee, Florida, we conduct cutting-edge research into reading growth, reading assessment, and reading instruction, focusing on evidence-based practices. Our work directly benefits educators, policymakers, and students by providing practical tools and insights to improve literacy outcomes. We collaborate with schools, the State Department of Education, and national organizations to disseminate research findings and implement effective interventions, particularly in areas like English Language Learners and early childhood literacy. Through projects like ATLAS, ARPA, and the Developmental English Lexicon Project, we are committed to translating research into real-world impact, ultimately fostering a love of reading and empowering all learners.
