The Language and Literacy Spectrum (Elementary Education and Reading)

The Language and Literacy Spectrum is a peer-reviewed journal published annually for the New York State Reading Association membership and available online.

We define literacy broadly to include reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and creating in many different modes and for many different purposes in order to interact with the world.

The readership consists primarily of practicing teachers and literacy specialists. The editors welcome articles focused on classroom practice, research, and theory in literacy. We encourage articles from K-12 practitioners, literacy researchers, and presenters from the NYSRA conference.
