Assistant Editor’s Comments
Keisha Panagos, Ph.D.
One of my favorite responsibilities of being the Assistant Editor is getting to read all the
submissions and being able to establish relationships with the authors
on a personal level. Thank you to all the writers that submit your
work to the journal. Without high-quality manuscript submissions we
would be unable to provide such an excellent resource of literacy
practices.
I want to give a special thank you to all the members of our Editorial
Board for your hard work and dedication to the journal. Without your
thought provoking and critical examinations of the submissions The
Missouri Reader would be hard pressed to maintain the scholarly and
practice based integrity that we strive so hard to achieve.
Thank you to the Editor, Dr. Kathryn Pole for allowing me this wonderful opportunity as Assistant
Editor. I have enjoyed working with you over the past four years. Your guidance and love for
research based literacy practices has been an inspiration and your guidance and mentorship is very
much appreciated. I am very excited about assuming the role as Editor of The Missouri Reader. I look
forward to the next issue regarding Common Core Standards and urge you to submit your
manuscripts.
I hope you enjoy this issue!
