Introducing IRA Reading Radio, a new media resource from the International Reading Association.
For an exciting and educational listening experience, tune in to an interview between IRA Executive Director Bill Harvey and Peter Johnston, chair of the IRA/NCTE task force that prepared the recently revised Standards for the Assessment of Reading and Writing. Together, they explore what literacy means in today's digital age and the need for new standards to measure literacy.
This free program comes to you via the new IRA Reading Radio, a collaboration between IRA and Body and Mind (BAM!) Radio Network, a radio website for the education community. Peter Johnston’s interview is just the first of many thought-provoking programs that will be posted monthly on the IRA website and address topics that range from reading assessment to the role of parents in literacy development.
Each radio broadcast will feature IRA’s Dr. Harvey interviewing an expert on a key topic in reading education. Next month, you can hear a conversation with Kathryn Au, noted author, educator, Distinguished Scholar, and IRA Board President, as they discuss culturally responsive instruction.
Click here to listen to the program. You’ll also find the link on IRA’s home page and at the BAM! Radio website. Let us know what you think…and what you’d like to hear. We welcome your feedback.
