You can't reach them if you don't speak their language.

Sometimes, reaching your adolescent students feels like an impossible task. But it doesn't have to. That's where IRA can help.

Your students have never known a world without broadband Internet, affordable cell phones, or cable television. To them, "friend" is a verb, not a noun, and information is never more than a Google search away.

The International Reading Association offers the practical resources, affordable professional development tools, and exceptional networking opportunities you need to succeed in the 21st Century classroom, such as:

Our new Members-Only web area, featuring exclusive content, a dynamic discussion forum, and an online version of Reading Today, our bimonthly newspaper.
Digital Literacies and Real-Time Teaching articles in the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, the only literacy-focused journal published for teachers of older learners.
More than 40 special interest groups to choose from, including Technology in Literacy Education, Middle School Reading, and Secondary Reading.
Significant savings on registration to our Annual Convention—up to $110!
