Why Attend the Reading League Conference

Moving Literacy Forward, Together.

The Reading League Conference is one of the largest literacy gatherings in the United States, bringing together educators, researchers, school and district leaders, higher education faculty, and literacy professionals committed to improving reading outcomes.

As a global nonprofit organization focused on advancing evidence-aligned reading instruction, The Reading League Conference connects research with the realities of classrooms, schools, systems, and communities. Over three days, attendees from around the world come together to learn from leading voices in the field, explore practical, evidence-aligned approaches, and build the shared knowledge needed to move from research to practice to impact.

With sessions spanning multiple topics relevant to various roles in literacy, there is space to expand your learning while connecting with the broader literacy community.

Learn & Connect

The Reading League Conference is built around shared learning and connection — in keynote rooms, breakout sessions, the expo hall, receptions, and the conversations that happen in between.

The Conference was a wonderfully inspiring three days of professional learning and personal growth, and a chance to catch up with so many of the colleagues and mentors whom I love and respect. ‘Til next year!
