issue of Academic Exchange Quarterly contains numerous submissions related to reading instruction. Educators throughout the country, including Pepperdine University, Queens College (CUNY), Shepherd University, University of Central Florida, University of Maryland, and University of Missouri-Kansas City, have contributed academic papers aimed at equipping educators with recent research findings that include innovative vocabulary and comprehension techniques designed to foster reading success. Their scholarly articles maintain modernity in an effort to meet the ever-changing needs of students in an increasingly diverse global society. Reading instruction is at the forefront of academic emphasis at all levels of education. This spotlight has prompted research that will contribute to a larger wealth of knowledge related to reading education, theory, and practice. With educational funding being directed towards research-based instructional planning, instruction, and assessment, there have been an overwhelming number of programs created and implemented. However, their application is not universal and thus, this forum serves as a medium to disseminate information related to reading instruction and strategy implementation within multiple populations including (a) English Language Learners, (b) suburban, urban, and rural schools, and (c) those with disabilities. Therefore, it is with great anticipation that I announce next year’s theme: Reading Research, Theory, and Practice. Within the ‘Reading Instruction’ feature of the Spring 2010 issue of Academic Exchange Quarterly, topics will include but are not limited to: Assessment and Evaluation, Reading Teacher Education, Adolescent Reading,
Informational Texts, Reading Clinics, Reaching Coaches, Response-to-Intervention, and Struggling Readers. www.rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/6read.htm Potential authors are encouraged to submit articles early to provide ample revision time if needed. Failure to follow submission guidelines may result in rejection of paper. These guidelines are posted at the following link: www.rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/rufen1b.htm Those considering submitting a manuscript regarding ‘Reading Instruction’ should contact me via email. I will gladly share information about the submission procedure and other helpful advice for the peer-review process at Academic Exchange Quarterly. It is only with actions derived from an inquisitive nature that solutions may be found, leading to enlightenment and ultimately, better educated individuals. Please share your investigations and research endeavors with our worldwide audience of subscribers in 69 countries. Evan Thomas Ortlieb, Ph.D. Valdosta State University E-mail:
