2009 28th Annual University of Wisconsin Reading Research Symposium: "Turning the Page: Research, Policy and Practice in a New Era"

• The UW Reading Research Symposium provides a two-day forum for nationally known researchers to share their work with educators in the state of Wisconsin. Typically attended by over 100 educators, the symposium provides a powerful professional development opportunity for those involved in the literacy education of Wisconsin's youth. Many of these educators are Masters level graduate students who are also enrolled in courses that are integrated with the symposium. Other attendees are in-service educators involved in providing leadership in reading programs in a number of school and related settings. The event is co-sponsored with the Wisconsin State Reading Association (WSRA). This year's symposium continues the tradition of influencing and improving the work of reading educators.
