Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled ‘Building Literacy Skills in Primary School Children and Adolescents’ will have two foci:
- Reading processes and instructions, shown through empirical research, that help students to proficiently decode words with fluency and understanding;
- Reading issues encountered by students as they transition into adolescence.
For this Special Issue, we welcome submissions of original, quantitative research articles and research reviews. Among others, some potential research areas may include the following:
- Phonemic awareness;
- Alphabet knowledge;
- Letter-sound knowledge (or correspondence);
- Morphological awareness;
- Reading fluency;
- Role of text in reading development;
- Vocabulary;
- Reading comprehension.
Articles may focus on a specific grade, or combination of grades across kindergarten through grade eight and may address a single reading process or combinations of processes. Studies focusing on the transition years following formal phonics instruction, quite often encompassing third through fifth grade, are also of interest.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. David D. Paige
Prof. Dr. William Rupley
Guest Editors
