Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties

• In Event: Journal Talks 4

Abstract

Reading & Writing Quarterly disseminates critical information to improve instruction for regular and special education students in preschool through grade twelve who have or who are at-risk for having difficulty learning to read and write. The journal addresses causes, prevention, evaluation, and remediation of reading and writing difficulties in regular and special education settings. It encourages manuscripts on teaching reading and writing processes to students experiencing difficulties in these areas. Possible topics: adjustments for language-learning style, literature-based reading programs, teaching reading and writing in the mainstream, study strategies, language-centered computer curricula, oral language connections to literacy, cooperative learning approaches to reading and writing, direct instruction, curriculum-based assessment, the impact of environmental factors on instructional effectiveness, and improvement of self-esteem.
