About The California Reader
The California Reader is a journal for teachers of reading, language arts, and English - preschool to adult.
This quarterly publication of the California Reading Association serves as the voice of literacy educators for students in pre-school through adulthood. The exchange of current theory, research, and practice regarding language arts is combined with news of particular interest to teachers and parents.
When you join a local reading council in California, you automatically receive The California Reader.
You can treat a friend or colleague to membership and four issues of timely, practical ideas and strategies for advancing literacy for just $40.00!

Submitting Articles to The California Reader
Submissions related to all areas of literacy are welcomed by the editors. Manuscripts must be word-processed, double-spaced (maximum of nine pages inclusive of references, tables, and figures) and follow guidelines used in APA, sixth edition, and The Reading Teacher. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via email to one of the editors. Manuscripts should include a complete title on page one (1) of the text, but no identification of the author or affiliation should appear in the title or elsewhere in the submitted manuscript. Use "author" or similar to ensure the submitted version is a blind copy. An abstract is required of approximately 100-120 words. Please include a cover letter giving the full title of the manuscript, authors' names, authors' professional affiliation and complete address (including home and work phone numbers; email addresses). Indicate which author is the corresponding or lead author. Manuscripts are peer reviewed and the editors reserve the right to edit all copy.
In addition, The California Reader sometimes publishes short pieces, such as book reviews, poetry, or research notes. Please contact the editors with your ideas. Check back soon for updates regarding future issues of The California Reader.
