New Journal Publishing Partnership

 | Sep 08, 2011
Beginning this month, Wiley-Blackwell will manage the production and distribution of The Reading Teacher, Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, and Reading Research Quarterly. IRA will continue to provide each journal with peer-reviewed, research-based content through its professional journal editors and review boards. All copyrights of journal content will continue to be owned by IRA. 

What does this mean for IRA members? Print subscribers can expect the same high-quality IRA journals to be delivered each month, although the September print issue will arrive in mailboxes a little later than usual. In the coming months, online publication of the journals will transition from the Association's website (/) to the Wiley Online Library (onlinelibrary.wiley.com), which offers a number of technological enhancements that allow for more user customization and interaction with tablets and smartphones. 

The September issue of The Reading Teacher is the first under Editors Diane Barone and Marla Mallette, featuring an all-new look and content. Please e-mail RT@/ to share your impressions. This issue of The Reading Teacher features contributions by Nell K. Duke, Nicole M. Martin, Roberta F. Schnorr, William P. Bintz, Sara D. Moore, Pam Wright, Lyndsie Dempsey, Kathy Ann Mills, Amanda Levido, Chase J. Young, Timothy V. Rasinski, Stephanie Wessels, Katrin L. Blamey, Katherine A. Beauchat, Frank Serafini, Katherine A. Dougherty Stahl, and Patricia L. Hardré.

The Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy (JAAL) also features some new, practical features. Select JAAL articles now offer “Take Action!” sidebars of simple, step-by-step instructions to help you quickly get started using a teaching idea or strategy. “More to Explore” points you to books, articles, ReadWriteThink.org lessons, and even podcasts related to the topic of an article. “Toolbox” provides a variety of teaching and classroom management tips and a reproducible that is ready to use. “Spark” helps you to ignite your students’ literacy achievement. Some of your favorite authors and educators provide quick, practical tips that are based in research and tested in classrooms, plus a list of additional resources if you want to take the idea even further. 

The September issue of JAAL includes submissions by Donald J. Leu, J. Gregory McVerry, W. Ian O’Byrne, Carita Kiili, Lisa Zawilinski, Heidi Everett-Cacopardo, Clint Kennedy, Elena Forzani, Amanda Haertling Thein, Megan Guise, DeAnn Long Sloan, Mellinee Lesley, Kathy A. Mills, Vinesh Chandra, Janette Hughes, Sue Dymoke, Ellen S. Friedland, Susan E. McMillen, Pixita del Prado Hill, Douglas Fisher, Diane Lapp, Nancy Frey, David O’Brien, Scott Voss, James Blasingame, April Brannon, Laura B.
