International Reading Association
The
International Reading Association was founded in 1956 as
a professional organization for those involved in
teaching reading to learners of all ages. Our
members are dedicated to promoting high levels of
literacy for all by improving the quality of reading
instruction, disseminating research and information
about reading, and encouraging lifelong reading habits.
Whether your interest is research or practice,

literacies” of the Internet age, new readers or those
acquiring higher level skills, we offer something for
you.
