The Mount’s Fifth Annual Reading Science Summit united educators and literacy leaders around a shared mission to transform children's lives through the science of reading.
The 2026 Reading Science Summit at Mount St. Joseph University was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Educators, school leaders, researchers, students, and literacy advocates gathered to exchange ideas, strengthen their practice, and reaffirm their commitment to helping every child become a successful reader.
The energy throughout the day was inspiring, with every conversation reflecting the impact of collaboration and evidence-based literacy instruction. As a national leader in Reading Science, the Mount continues to bring together passionate educators who are making a difference in classrooms and communities every day.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Summit. Together, we are changing lives, strengthening communities, and shaping the future of literacy—one reader at a time.
