“Another big challenge is the misperception that the enacting of a policy is the finish line. For policies to work, leaders have to work those policies. A law can have the perfect language and intention, but without time and care taken to lead on implementation and meaningfully engaging all the stakeholders, progress won’t be made.” — Dr. Kymyona Burk The Reading League Summit 2026

Join Dr. Kymyona Burk at #TRLSummit2026 as she moderates “Taking Action on Policy,” which focuses on ensuring literacy legislation leads to meaningful implementation and real outcomes for students.

A Look at What’s Ahead: The Reading League Summit 2026 From Confusion to Clarity: Turning Data Into Instructional Impact Register Today! May 5-6, 2026

Screening, progress monitoring, diagnostic assessment, and the science of reading itself all rely on measurement and assessment! It is the foundation of all that we do. Chris Schatschneider, Professor at Florida State University on The Reading League Summit 2026

Assessment should empower educators, not overwhelm them. When we understand what data truly tell us about student learning, we can make decisions that accelerate progress. This Summit is designed to ensure educators leave with clarity, confidence, and the tools to act. - Maria Murray, President and CEO of The Reading League

Data shouldn’t be confusing—it should be a roadmap. 🗺️

The Reading League Summit 2026 on May 5-6 in Syracuse NY From Confusion to Clarity: Turning Data Into Instructional Impact Clarity from Research vs. Points of Confusion Research: Research has a lot to say about what to assess and when. Confusion: The science of reading doesn't include assessment. Research: Language and early reading assessments measure different skills. Confusion: We can gather data on language skills just like early reading skills. Research: Evidence-aligned assessment maximizes instructional time. Confusion: The more data the better.

Confusion around literacy assessment can lead to missed instructional opportunities—but research brings clarity.

At #TRLSummit2026 this May, we'll move from confusion to clarity & unlock the power to teach with purpose, precision & impact.
