Offering the wisdom that only experience and expertise in the
field can bring, this book takes a critical look into the present
and the future of literacy as envisioned by leading reading
researchers. The lead author of each chapter, and in some cases
more than one, of the authors, is a distinguished reading
researcher elected by their peers into the Reading Hall of Fame. In
this book these distinguished literacy leaders extend their role as
researchers to speak directly to issues of practice and policy.
All chapters address the theme of literacy and the teaching of
literacy as being in a constant state of change. The authors are
theoretical as they describe literacy, literacy acquisition, and
the teaching of literacy; they are practical as they examine the
issues that classroom teachers and reading specialists engage with
on a daily basis; and they are political as they advocate for
informed policy at the local, state and national levels. A key
message in this book is that literacy professionals must take an
active role to shape change.
