Do you know the story behind the @reading_league ? Hear Dr. Maria Murray explain how it came to be... I know I would have loved to be at that first meeting to have one of her mom's cookies! 🍪 https://t.co/W8GezUF02K #TRL2025Rocks #TRL2025

@reading_league Let’s keep marching forward. The Reading League started because people saw the gap and ASKED WHY. It’s proof that with passion, persistence, and PEOPLE—all things are possible.

@reading_league Want in on this movement? Sign up for their killer newsletter for fresh tools, join your state chapter, attend a conference—or just start a “who’s going to do something?” conversation in your school.

@reading_league The big vision? To work themselves out of a job—by building a world where “95-98% of kids are fully literate” and EVERY educator feels supported, equipped, and inspired. Imagine the doors that would open for ALL. #LiteracyForAll

@reading_league Love FREE resources? The Reading League’s site & “Compass” project give open access to research, curriculum guides, and evaluations—no paywall, no membership required. Because literacy belongs to everyone. 🔥 #OpenAccess #EdResources

@reading_league Dr. Murray’s advice: Change isn't about ‘one person, one expert, one session.’ It’s about creating ongoing support for teachers, weaving together expertise, and building a network that can outlive any single leader or admin. #SustainableChange

@reading_league Conferences grew from 400 people and a single keynote to multi-state, multi-country gatherings, buzzing with practical knowledge and deep connection: “People love a place where every session matters. Networking is magic.” #Conferences #EducationCommunity

@reading_league What makes The Reading League different? It’s NOT just about dyslexia or any one deficit. It’s about EVERY kid and the systemic changes needed so no one falls through the cracks—regardless of diagnosis, background, or label. #AllMeansAll

@reading_league From humble beginnings to a national wave: The Reading League now has 41 state chapters (and counting), with hundreds of passionate volunteers—professors, parents, publishers, and more—all united for children’s literacy. #EducationReform

@reading_league The first live event? A snowstorm couldn’t stop 130+ educators from packing a rec center. Standing room only, 3 hours, nobody left early. The hunger for REAL solutions was electric. 🍪 (Her mom even baked cookies!) #GrassrootsMovement

@reading_league Early on, Dr. Murray noticed a BIG problem: Teacher prep programs weren't giving educators the knowledge or tools they needed to help all kids learn to read—NOT just the special education teachers, but everyone in the education ecosystem. #TeacherPrep #Literacy

@reading_league “Who's going to do something?” 🤔 That was Dr. Murray’s burning question after seeing science-backed literacy research gather dust in journals, never reaching real classrooms. She refused to let that slide. #ScienceOfReading

🚀 THREAD: The Mission & Magic Behind The Reading League 📚✨ Meet Dr. Maria Murray, the powerhouse who helped launch @reading_league —a movement built on the belief that reading is a basic human right and EVERY learner deserves evidence-based instruction. #trlconf2025

October is #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth. It’s not just about celebrating strengths—it’s also about facing the harder truths. This year, I’m focusing on the “Darker Side of Dyslexia” through my blog + @R2RInitiative . Awareness is good. Action is better. #RightToRead
