(including main text and references) and should provide readers, who are mostly practitioners, with classroom ideas for literacy development, based on sound theory and research. Other types of submissions, including teaching tips, strategy suggestions, technology tools, are welcome. As this journal is published as an e-text, multimedia (images, video, audio, etc.) is encouraged. Submissions should be submitted electronically via email to Jackie Sydnor at: [email protected]. The author(s) must agree that the submitted manuscript is original work and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should include a complete title on the first page, but no identification of the author or affiliation should appear in the title or elsewhere in the submitted manuscript.

Manuscripts are peer reviewed and editors reserve the right to edit all copy. Each article is sent to at least two members of the editorial advisory board for review and recommendations to the editors. Manuscripts are evaluated in terms of interest, quality of writing, appropriate documentation of ideas, uniqueness, and needs of the journal. Please contact the editors with any questions.
