The mission of The Reading League is to advance the awareness, understanding, and use of evidence-aligned reading instruction.
We have set forth to accomplish our mission by:
- Recruiting thousands of League members
- Offering Live Events and an Annual Conference
- Establishing a social media presence
- Compiling resources for professional learning on our Knowledge Base page
- Forming partnerships with schools that include tailored professional development experiences and school-based coaching
OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of The Reading League is to increase knowledge of science-based approaches to teach reading as well as research that demystifies how people learn to benefit the lives of millions of students. We train and support educators and school leaders. By extension, we also serve parents, specialists, and researchers. We believe all children can learn to read and all teachers can learn to teach them.
