Article Submission
Do you have a passion for sharing knowledge and best practices in the science of reading? The Reading League Journal (TRLJ) features articles written by researchers and educational practitioners like you. Our authors contribute to the advancement of the science of reading and teaching.
- Researchers: Review and present scientific studies in a format that is meaningful for educational professionals.
- Educational Practitioners: Share insights and experiences in implementing scientific research into practice.
Please note that we do not include original research reports or descriptions of classroom practices that do not directly apply scientific findings.
TRLJ aims to feature high-quality contributions around timely and significant topics, fostering deeper dialogue between scholars and practitioners. To meet this aim and expand our reach, TRLJ has introduced thematic issues as of our spring 2025 issue. With our shift to thematic issues, TRLJ will be limiting unsolicited manuscript submissions to ensure a more focused and curated approach to publication. This change will allow us to be intentional in selecting articles that align with each issue’s theme while maintaining the journal’s rigorous standards. Please email Dr. Toste if you have questions about a future submission.
If you have been invited to submit an article to TRLJ, please view our Author Guidelines to ensure that your work aligns with our established criteria.
