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 recieve 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. Below is a link to join MLA. There is always a Fall and Spring edition, and we sometimes also have Special Editions on specific topics.
The issue you are reading now is one of those special editions. We try to include articles by major figures in the literacy world, university professors, students in literacy program, and, of course, practicing teachers in the field. For guidelines on submissions, see the last page of this journal.
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.
ENJOY!
