Are you a member of the IRA? No, not the Irish Republican Army, the International Reading Association. Hooray for you! The goal of this programme is train us to be Reading Specialists and as such I think we should all be members of the IRA. The IRA offers 4 journals:
Reading Today
IRA’s bi-monthly newspaper $19.50(print and online) $12.00 (online only)
The Reading Teacher
For those working with children up to age 12 $15.00 $12.00
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy
For teachers of older students $15.00 $12.00
Reading Research Quarterly
For those committed to scholarship in literacy $15.00 $12.00
Access IRA
Complete online access to all IRA journal issues $50.00
The prices quoted above are discounted one year subscription prices for developing economies (T&T qualifies). Additionally, we do not have to pay a membership fee.
You can also join the IRA book club and receive 9 “best new titles” mailed automatically through the membership year for $139.00(US)
The Reading Research Quarterly Library which provides online access to every RRQ issue since 1965 (for RRQ subscribers only) costs $18.00 (Think how useful this could be when doing research for your thesis).
For years I have had subscriptions to The Reading Teacher, RRQ and RRQ Library and it only costs me around $250TT, a steal of a deal (and all copies have been delivered to me regularly).
Isn’t it time you joined the IRA?
