The International Literacy Association (ILA) is dedicated to connecting research and practice to improve the quality of literacy learning across the globe. ILA celebrates and supports the contributions of individuals and chapters within its network towards this mission.
The Literacy Leadership Awards and Grants by ILA are designed to honor remarkable graduate and doctoral students, literacy educators, and researchers at all career stages. These awards and grants, including the Steven A. Stahl Research Grant, underscore ILA's commitment to improving literacy instruction and children's reading achievements. The Stahl Grant particularly supports graduate students with a minimum of three years teaching experience who are engaged in classroom research or action research aimed at enhancing reading instruction.
