Celebrate Literacy Award Program

The International Reading Association seeks to promote literacy worldwide by improving the quality of reading instruction through the study of the reading process and teaching techniques. The Celebrate Literacy Award recognizes individuals that have made significant literacy contributions at the local, state, or provincial level. We hope the celebration will familiarize the public with literacy activities in the community and call attention to the work that is being done by the schools and the International Reading Association to promote literacy worldwide.

Candidates who have shown exemplary accomplishments and leadership in K-12 literacy may be suggested for consideration as Celebrate Literacy Award recipients. 

Nominees chosen by the MRA Executive Board for further consideration will be recognized at the MRA Celebrate Literacy Dessert Reception on March 11, 2011 (location to be announced).
