Letter from the Assistant Editor
Beth Hurst, Ph.D.

Dear Readers,
It is a special privilege for me to have the opportunity
to serve as Assistant Editor of The Missouri Reader
because this is where I received my first publication in
1994. Since then I have seen the work of many good
colleagues in this wonderful journal. It is a good place
to be.
My first task of assistant editor was to update the Editorial Board whose job it is
to review the manuscripts. That was great fun. I got to meet new colleagues
from around the state. I was impressed with their level of expertise and the
helpfulness of their reviews. I hope you‘ll take a moment to read the list of
reviewers. I believe we have a good representation of literacy professionals from
around the state.
I look forward to working on this journal with Keisha Panagos who does a
beautiful job as editor.

Beth Hurst
