Introduction

Abstract

This new book series, Literacy Research, Practice and Evaluation, was first envisioned to advance the often times partitioned nature of reading and writing research by bringing together multidimensional knowledge within the field of literacy education; moreover, it was founded on the belief that praxis, or the combination of research with practice, should be the ultimate goal of educational missions and visions alike. Literacy Research, Practice and Evaluation provides a fresh examination of current issues and trends salient to novice and experienced educators alike.
