The Science of Reading: A Defining Movement

By Dr. Maria Murray, Founder and President/CEO of The Reading League

Administrators, listen to the podcast, The Science of Reading: A Defining Movement.

Should literacy be considered a human right? The Reading League sees it as the defining movement in the 21st century and, yes, it should be considered to be a human right—regardless of ZIP code, ethnic origin, etc. Literacy and equity should be the wings upon which children soar into a bright future. So many children are not reading to grade level. This is the norm, and it should not be.

“Without words or access to words, you are not part of a literate society.” – Dr. Maria Murray

Dr. Murray is the founder and CEO of The Reading League, and if there's one thing she wants people to know, it's: Reading is a fundamental human right. Dr. Murray has dedicated her life and career to helping others understand how people learn to read, how to teach literacy effectively, and why it matters.

Join her as she shares with us why reading is comparable to medicine, how to create empowered readers and writers, and why literacy is a defining movement in the 21st century.
