On September 10, 2020, Laura Stewart, National Director of The Reading League, presented on the science of reading during a virtual webinar, An Invitation to Meet The Reading League. The Center for Development and Learning announced the formation of a Louisiana chapter of The Reading League.

An abundance of reading research has converged over the past four decades to help us align our instruction with the evidence about how students best learn to read. Unfortunately, it has not found its way into many classrooms. The Reading League’s mission is to advance the awareness, understanding, and use of evidence-aligned reading instruction.

This was The Reading League’s first Louisiana event.
