The mission of the Illinois Reading Council is to provide support and leadership to all who promote and teach lifelong literacy.
The Vision of the Illinois Reading Council
The Illinois Reading Council advocates quality literacy opportunities for all learners and serves as a primary organization that provides educators at all levels access to research, materials, and methodologies to promote and teach lifelong literacy and learning. Support of an active, well-organized system of local and special interest council and state committees provides a viable network for communication, exchange of information, and grass roots involvement of a diverse membership. The IRC's publications, special projects, conferences, and workshops stimulate personal and professional growth of educators.
