The Mississippi Reading Association is an affiliate of the International Reading Association. The purpose of the association is to serve the state of Mississippi in the improvement of reading.


This year, our theme is
What's Your Story? Live It, Write It, Read It. Our challenge is to provide leadership in literary practices and share our abilities with others to provide quality services for our students, parents, teachers and administrators.

Biloxi, MS


We were inspired to reach above and beyond for this year's theme. After speaking with high school students about their experiences with reading and learning to read, we were astounded at the various stories we heard. Students were very open in sharing their trials and triumphs, so we documented their stories by taking quotes from our conversations and pictures of the students to communicate the experience.

Last year's conference was a thrilling success. We would like to say a special thanks to the MRA board for delivering another exceptional conference.
