What is the Institute of Reading Development?
The Institute of Reading Development has been a leader in reading development instruction since 1971. As a trusted partner with universities, colleges, school districts, and municipalities, the Institute helps educational and community organizations provide reading development programs to the communities and families they serve. Curriculum developed by the Institute integrates skill development with independent reading, and leads students toward lives in which reading books is highly valued.
The Institute of Reading Development, the largest private reading school in the United States, has been teaching enrichment reading programs to children and adults since 1969. The programs focus on age-appropriate skills and are intended to permit each student to achieve his or her full potential as an effective, efficient reader, and also to develop a lifelong love of reading.
