The conference intentionally blends the Science of Reading with hip-hop, spoken word, visual arts, music, storytelling, and multimodal literacy. It is a space where research meets practice, where theory meets the classroom, and where educators leave energized and equipped.

What We Believe
Literacy is Cultural
Effective literacy instruction honors the cultural knowledge, language, and lived experiences students bring into the classroom.
Hip-Hop is a Literacy Practice
Hip-hop represents a complex literacy system — a discourse, a pedagogy, and an intellectual tradition that extends far beyond lyrical analysis.
Voice is Curriculum
When students are positioned as producers of knowledge — not just consumers — learning transforms.
Research Informs Practice
We ground our work in evidence while centering the wisdom of practitioners who live and teach in the communities we serve.
