About Us
The Roanoke Valley Reading Council (RVRC), an affiliate of the more than 10,000 member Virginia State Reading Association (VSRA) and International Reading Association (IRA), is actively engaged in the promotion of literacy among teachers, students, parents and the communities throughout the Valley. The RVRC provides opportunities for increased communication and professional growth. Activities designed to meet the needs of each of the groups (teachers, students, parents and communities) are planned each year.
▪ To increase membership in and community awareness of the RVRC
▪ To support the professional growth of educators through conferences, publications, and affiliation with the VSRA and IRA
▪ To enhance student appreciation of literature through the Virginia Readers' Choice and Young Writers programs
▪ To encourage community support through annual events, one of which is the Literacy Tea where students, teachers, and members of the community are recognized
▪ To continue participation in the VSRA Merit Council Award program and the IRA Honor Council Award program
▪ To support international literacy
