About Us
Inspiring Readers has one mission: to develop a lifelong love of reading in every child. It’s our goal to help create inspirational spaces that cultivate meaningful discussions of literature for both campers and counselors.
Who We Are
Based on five decades of experience teaching more than three million children, Inspiring Readers uses expertly designed discussion guides to give both novice and veteran discussion leaders the confidence to engage even the most reluctant learners in meaningful dialogue. Through dynamic discussions of exemplary literature, campers will build confidence and academic achievement. Integrated materials, featuring vocabulary and writing activities, further develop strong skills in comprehension, self-expression, and self-efficacy.
Inspiring Readers helps camps increase camper engagement and reverse declines in literacy and participation through a research-based approach to English Language Arts that features camper-centered explorations of authentic novels.
Our supplemental literacy program promotes interest in reading, builds camp culture, increases camper achievement, and supports social and emotional growth.
The Institute of Reading Development
Inspiring Readers is a program of the Institute of Reading Development. Since 1970, the Institute of Reading Development has taught valuable reading skills to over 3 million students across the United States.
