Focus on Topics in Reading

To serve our diverse membership and the broader education community, IRA sponsors programs that cover a wide range of reading-related topics: from early childhood literacy to the reading needs of the elderly, from the diagnosis of reading disabilities to the training of reading professionals.

The pages in this section of our website provide collections of IRA resources organized by important topics in the field. These “Focus” pages offer an efficient way to explore and use the content of this site, and to find information about the full range of IRA programs.
