The Missouri Reader is the peer-reviewed journal of the Missouri LIteracy Association(MLA). It has been published for over four decades. Members of the Missouri Literacy Association automatically receive a copy of the newest edition of the journal. Being an MLA member is the best way to assure you get a copy of the newest edtion. Here is a link to join MLA LINK. There is always a Fall and Spring edition, and we sometimes also have Special Editions.
To give you a better idea of the depth and breadth of our coverage, have a look at our most-read issue. It was an issue devoted entirely to the question of how best to include poetry in your literacy program. Like all our issues, it includes tons of practical, "use them next Monday" ideas and also includes information on the research supporting those practices.
This is the original Poetry issue, published in the winter of 2019. It was David Harrisons's brainchild. Our Spring issue will be another poetry issue in honor of David becoming Missouri's poet laureate. For information about how to submit articles for that special spring edition, see the last page of this journal.
ENJOY!
