Who We Are

Laprea Education is an educational publishing company dedicated to helping every child become a confident, capable reader. Founded by a classroom teacher with more than two decades of experience, our mission is simple: to make it easier for educators to bring structured literacy and the Science of Reading to life.

We know the challenges teachers face because we’ve been there. That’s why everything we create—from decodable books to classroom tools to professional development resources—is designed to be practical, research-aligned, and easy to use.

- Anna DiGilio, CEO & Founder of Laprea Education

Every Child, Every Reader
We put children first in everything we do, creating research-based, materials that help every learner build confidence, mastery, and a lifelong love of reading.
Driven by Innovation
With current practitioners on our team, we innovate from the classroom out, creating solutions that are transparent, accountable, and proven to work where it matters most: with students.
Making Every Moment Count
We act with urgency and purpose to meet the current needs of real classrooms, and we give educators the tools they need now to make a lasting impact on student success.

Why It Matters

Reading is more than a subject—it’s the gateway to every child’s future. By giving educators tools they can trust and students resources that meet them where they are, we’re working to change the story of literacy instruction, one classroom at a time.
