Today, BAM Radio Network, the education station online, announced that the International Reading Association (IRA) has launched Reading Radio powered by BAM. The new media resource will give IRA’s 85,000 members, reading professionals, teachers, reading specialists, faculty, and researchers worldwide access to the best thinking on the evolution of literacy in the digital age. Standards, assessment, and parent involvement are a few of the topics that will be addressed on IRA Reading Radio.

Each monthly installment of IRA Reading Radio will feature IRA Executive Director William B. Harvey interviewing an expert on a key topic in reading education. The first program features an interview with Peter Johnston, chair of the IRA/NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) task force, which prepared the recently revised Standards for the Assessment of Reading and Writing.

The program will be Nanocasted on the IRA web site at http://www.reading.org/, distributed to members through the organization’s newsletter and syndicated on the BAM Radio Network at http://www.bamradionetwork.com.
