About Us
One-stop shopping for “all things literacy.” That’s our goal at The Literacy Store, where educators can purchase books and resources from thousands of publishers, both big and small. Whether you’re looking for professional books, picture books, classroom games, or other tools for the classroom, The Literacy Store’s huge selection offers many options.
How to shop at The Literacy Store
We make shopping easy at the Literacy Store, where you can search by title, author, ISBN number, publisher, or simply by topic. For example, if you are looking for resources written by a particular author simply type the author’s name in the “search” box at the top of the page and click “go.” All titles written by that author and carried by The Literacy Store will then appear on your screen.
