Year after year, 66% of fourth graders are not reading proficiently and many are not even reading at a basic level. A major contributor to this epidemic is instructional materials and practices that do not align with what the research has shown to be most successful.

The Reading League’s approach focuses on closing the knowledge-to-practice gap by providing educators with essential knowledge. We are the only national nonprofit organization founded by researchers and educators that directly informs educators and all other stakeholders about the science of reading.

We focus on:
Transforming Districts
The Reading League is partnered with over 80 school districts nationwide through professional development to transform teaching practices and improve students’ literacy outcomes.

Empowering Educators
Thousands of educators and stakeholders have immersed themselves in learning about the science of reading through our annual conferences and summits, free resources, professional development services, peer-reviewed journals, and more.

Building Unity
The Reading League has expanded into a vibrant network of 33 state chapters, propelled by over 330 passionate volunteer leaders committed to advancing evidence-aligned reading instruction within their states.

We believe that learning to read is a fundamental human right. Individuals like you bring us closer to making that a reality.

Please donate today because it takes a league.
