The Reading League Michigan

Please join the National Chapter Summer Network Book Study.

Join the summer book study of Reading Isn’t Optional: Fulfilling the Promise of Literacy for Secondary Students. Do not be misled by the title. While the focus is on middle and high school educators and leaders, the content applies across all grade levels.

If you are interested in literacy transformation and high-quality instructional practice that serves all students, this book study is for you.

The kickoff event will feature a panel of chapter leaders who work with adolescent readers and will share their experiences, insights, and the impact of this work in schools.

We will also hear from literacy expert Dr. Louisa Moats, who wrote the foreword to Reading Isn’t Optional, bringing her research and perspective to the discussion.
