Prompted by a list of Decodable book sources I found on their Facebook page (and available for download below), I recently had the great pleasure of exchanging emails about the TAP Library with Prof. Maria Murray and Dr. Heidi Beverine-Curry of The Reading League<\/a>, an organization based in New York state whose mission is \u201cto build educator knowledge of how to teach reading using evidence-based, highly effective methods of reading instruction and assessment.\u201d\u00a0 The League has over 3000 members: teachers, professors and researchers, administrators, parents, people with dyslexia and other reading difficulties, school psychologists, speech and language pathologists, counselors, health care providers, attorneys, and more. Through regular meetings, social networking and professional development activities, their goal is to see that \u201call educators who teach students to read…use evidence-based practices that result in successful reading outcomes for all learners.\u201d\u00a0 Who can argue with that?<\/p>\n They provide a wealth of materials related to evidence-based reading instruction materials on their website (with even more available in a members-only area) and have a YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0with video from their events and Prof. Murray\u2019s \u201cKnowledge Series for Teachers of Reading and Spelling.\u201d<\/p>\nResources for Evidence-Based Reading Instruction<\/h2>\n
