Call for Papers

Family Literacy Forum
and
Literacy Harvest

Manuscripts Due January 7, 2005

IThe National Even Start Association and the Literacy Assistance Center announce a call for papers for a joint issue of Family Literacy Forum and Literacy Harvest to be published in fall 2005.

Family Literacy Forum is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year by the National Even Start Association (NESA). Family Literacy Forum is committed to bringing the ideas and experiences of individuals in the field to the forefront of discussions about the literacy development of families in home, community, and school-based settings.

Literacy Harvest is the annual journal of the Literacy Assistance Center. Published since 1992, it highlights research, trends, and exemplary practices in adult, family, and youth literacy education.

For this issue, we welcome manuscripts that focus on theory, practice, or the intersection of the two, as they relate to connecting communities to educational practice in family literacy programming. Articles may include observations, concerns, ideas, and experiences in order to:
* Examine the role of research and continuous program development
* Raise issues and concerns about current research and practice in the field
* Explore practical ideas for working with families and their literacy development

Manuscript Preparation
* Manuscripts should be between 1,000 and 5,000 words.
* Submissions should be typed double-spaced, including quotations and references.
* Submissions should be typed in 12-point font.
* Include a cover sheet with the manuscript title, authors’ names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
* The names of the authors should not appear on the text as submissions are reviewed anonymously by peers. Instead, type an identifying word on the top of each page.
* Follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, for reference style guidelines. Present important information in the text and do not use footnotes or extensive endnotes.


To submit a manuscript, or for other editorial correspondence, please contact: Claudia M. Ullman, editor of Family Literacy Forum, at cullman2@nyc.rr.com or Jan Gallagher, director of communications at the LAC, publications@lacnyc.org.
