Welcome to the SOMLA Conference 2025, themed "Bridging Young Readers to Forever Readers." I am delighted to introduce myself as Sandy Keaton, the Chair of the State of Maryland Literacy Association's annual conference. This year, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting an in-person event on April 2-3, 2025. As an affiliate of the International Literacy Association, our goal is to provide a platform for educators to expand their knowledge and connect with like-minded professionals.
The 2025 conference will feature high-quality professional learning experiences designed to enhance staff growth and improve student outcomes. Our lineup of speakers includes experienced researchers and practitioners who will provide valuable insights and practical strategies. This is a unique opportunity to engage with current and relevant content that will positively impact your teaching practice.
