Literacy Strategies Consulting, LLC

Literacy Strategies Consulting, LLC is a United States-based professional services firm specializing in literacy education support for teachers. The company is led by Jennifer Serravallo, an educator, author, speaker, and podcaster who describes herself as the leader of a team of literacy specialists. Through its website, the firm offers research-based English language arts (ELA) professional development and resources aimed at empowering K–12 educators with proven literacy strategies. The firm's services are built around the belief that the best professional learning is hands-on, personalized, and directly connected to the everyday realities of teaching. Its professional development is grounded in evidence-based practices with a focus on student outcomes. Literacy Strategies Consulting supports the entire instructional team—classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and school and district leaders—with practical strategies, modeling, co-planning, mentoring tools, and strategic planning for systemic literacy improvement. Sessions are not one-size-fits-all; every workshop, coaching session, or learning series is built in partnership with the client to meet unique goals and the needs of their student body. In addition to consulting, the firm is closely associated with Jennifer Serravallo's award-winning and bestselling books on K–12 literacy instruction, which are used by hundreds of thousands of educators as supplemental support to fill curricular gaps, streamline planning, and make instruction more engaging, efficient, and effective. Serravallo has been a regular presenter and keynote speaker at state and national conferences and has partnered with educators around the world. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for schools seeking to improve literacy outcomes through responsive, research-aligned instruction. It emphasizes warmth, flexibility, and a deep understanding of literacy development, and it serves multilingual learners, students with IEPs, and diverse grade levels. While the exact founding year and headquarters location are not specified in the available evidence, the firm operates as a private, founder-owned consulting practice with a national and international reach.

Literacy Strategies Consulting, LLC was founded by Jennifer Serravallo, an educator and author with over two decades of experience in K–12 literacy instruction. Serravallo began her career as a fourth-grade teacher at an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, where she had little in the way of books, materials, or support. She found a mentor in a teacher down the hall, whose support was invaluable in her early years. Later, she taught at another New York City school with a commitment to professional development, instructional coaching, and collaboration among staff. While there, she earned a Master's degree at Teachers College, Columbia University, and mentored student teachers. Serravallo has said that the support she received as a teacher was critical to helping her do her best work and to feeling fulfilled and inspired, and that professional development is what kept her in the field. This experience led her to transition from classroom teaching to a career focused on supporting other educators. She became an author of award-winning and bestselling books on K–12 literacy instruction, a regular presenter and keynote speaker at state and national conferences, and a partner to educators around the world. Over time, Serravallo built a team of literacy specialists under the banner of Literacy Strategies Consulting, LLC. The firm provides research-based professional development and resources to schools across the United States and internationally. Thousands of schools have trusted Serravallo and her team to support their literacy goals, and hundreds of thousands of educators use her books and resources as supplemental support. The company continues to operate as a private consulting practice, with Serravallo as its leader.
