The International Reading Association is a wonderful source of information for educators about both reading research and classroom practice. It is structured to allow groups to come together and create communities of literacy learners. The provincial association in British Columbia is called The BC Literacy Council of The International Reading Association (BCLCIRA). ReadingBC has been adopted as the user friendly name for this group. Check out the website to read about local happenings and perspectives. You can also follow me on twitter @CarrieFroese. Our hashtag is #rdgBC
LOMCIRA (The Lower Mainland Council of the IRA) was the first council to be formed in British Columbia. Although it is currently dormant, the structure exists waiting for a vital group to come together and to breath new life into it. There have also been active councils in Kelowna and Victoria.
