Murray, Maria
American Educator, v44 n2 p10-12, 39 Sum 2020
The Reading League builds the understanding of evidence-aligned reading instruction and its application with a variety of supports for educators as they build their knowledge and professional networks around the science of reading. It builds the understanding of evidence-aligned reading instruction and its application with a variety of supports for educators as they build their knowledge and professional networks around the science of reading. The purpose of this nonprofit organization is to increase the awareness, understanding, and use of evidence-aligned reading instruction. The Reading League's branches are wide-reaching and fruitful because educators are committed to the lifelong learning necessary to ensure that their students achieve their potential and reap all the benefits of a literate life. The branches have served to create a vast network of members and allies who understand that when two-thirds of a nation's students are not reading proficiently, providing the best instruction for "all" of them is a matter of social justice.
