In Memory of Kylene Beers

7/17/2025

The Reading Council of Greater Winnipeg acknowledges the passing of Dr. Kylene Beers, a distinguished literacy leader and friend to many Canadians. Her works, including Disrupting Thinking and Notice & Note – written with her longtime collaborator Bob Probst – and her classic When Kids Can't Read, What Teachers Can Do, remain core reference texts for teachers. Filled with numerous ideas, these books carry on Kylene's legacy. We invite you to read the International Literacy Association's memorial post to learn more about Kylene's amazing contributions to the field of literacy.
