Thank You for an Incredible 2026 Summer Book Study!

Thank You for an Incredible 2026 Summer Book Study!

Thank you to the more than 4,000 educators who joined us for The Reading League Chapter Network’s 3rd Annual Summer Book Study! Together, we explored Reading Isn’t Optional: Fulfilling the Promise of Literacy for Secondary Students and engaged in meaningful learning about what the science of reading reveals about supporting literacy development in grades 4–12.

While the 2026 Summer Book Study has concluded, we’re already looking ahead. If a Summer Book Study returns in 2027, we want you to be among the first to know.
