The Philadelphia Reading Council and Delaware Valley Reading Association have joined together to form KSLA Delaware Valley. We look forward to building on the strong foundation of each council to continue to provide a community for literacy educators and others interested in literacy education throughout the Delaware Valley.

Join Us At Our Next Event!

Join us this winter for our book club. We will be reading Practicing Presence: Simple Self-Care Strategies for Teachers by Lisa J. Lucas. She will be joining us for our Spring Literacy Conference in May.
In February, be sure to join us for the annual Murph Crawford Conference featuring Lynn Dorfman. If you have heard Lynn speak before, you know what a dynamic and informative speaker she is!
