Philly Reads Literacy Summit – Nov 14

Posted by Office of PA State Senator Vincent Hughes on November 10, 2026

Reading is fundamental, but we know students and adults across the country are struggling to read. We are facing a literacy crisis.

In Philadelphia, PA State Senator Hughes is calling on everyone to come to the table and address this issue. We can make our communities stronger with the power of reading and education.

Our call to action starts with the first annual Philly Reads Literacy Summit. We’re offering a half day of panel discussions, workshops, and children’s health services so our entire community can come together to discuss the issues we’re seeing, learn about solutions, and walk away with peace of mind that we will improve reading proficiency across the city.

Date and Time: November 16, 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Location: School of the Future, 4021 Parkside Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104
