About this Journal
The Journal of Research in Reading provides an international forum for research focusing on literacy. It is a peer-reviewed journal principally devoted to reports of original empirical research in reading and closely related fields (e.g., spoken language, writing), and to informed reviews of relevant literature. The Journal welcomes papers on the learning, teaching, and use of literacy in adults or children in a variety of contexts, with a particular focus on psychological and educational approaches. The Journal encourages papers within any research paradigm and from researchers in any relevant field.
The Journal of Research in Reading is published for the United Kingdom Literacy Association.
