Our Story
A mission-driven approach to publishing reading resources

Editorial Vision

The Reading League Press publishes high-quality trade books and books for students aligned with reading science. Every title is reviewed for research alignment, quality and instructional purpose.
Our trade books will support educator knowledge about many aspects related to reading and writing. Our books for students will be purposeful for instruction and fill gaps in current series available on the market.
As a mission-driven publisher, each publication reflects care, clarity, and a commitment to lasting impact.
