About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Reading League (TRL) is a nonprofit organization with the mission to advance the awareness, understanding, and use of scientific-aligned reading instruction.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to increase stakeholder knowledge of science-based approaches to teach reading, as well as research that demystifies how people learn to read. We train and support educators and school leaders. By extension, we also serve parents, specialists, and researchers.

We are a national education nonprofit led by educators and reading experts dedicated to promoting knowledge to reimagine the future of literacy education and accelerate the global movement toward reading instruction grounded in science.
