Teach Us Too

At Teach Us Too, we believe every child has the right to be taught to read and write – no matter their label, diagnosis, or disability. Our work is rooted in the conviction that literacy is not a privilege reserved for typically developing learners, but a fundamental right for all.

We campaign for high expectations, equitable access to teaching, and the removal of barriers that prevent learners—especially those with complex physical and communication needs—from experiencing meaningful literacy instruction. Alongside our advocacy work, we are a charitable organisation providing free training and guidance to teachers, support staff, and school leaders. Our training helps professionals understand how to deliver high-quality, evidence-informed literacy teaching that includes and empowers learners with the most complex needs.

Too often, pupils are denied opportunities to engage with reading and writing because assumptions are made about their potential. We know that with the right teaching approaches, communication support, and accessible materials, all learners can make progress and find their own pathways into literacy.

That’s why we are proud to be a founding member of the Alliance for Inclusive Literacy. By joining forces with other passionate organisations, educators, and researchers, we can amplify the message that literacy is for everyone. Together, we’re building a movement that challenges exclusion, shares evidence-informed practice, and empowers schools to make literacy truly inclusive.

Our goal is simple but powerful: to ensure that every child, regardless of ability or communication method, has the chance to be taught, to learn, and to be heard through literacy.
