Achieving literacy takes trained and supported teachers, a quality curriculum, and quality reading materials. Responsible publishing is not only creating clear, engaging text and illustrations, but producing proper design files and ensuring those files are stored for future use. The ELRN is committed to supporting partners to understand the processes and requirements to do this, while providing a space to upload and share these resources.
