Wiley-Blackwell, the STM and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced a new partnership with the International Reading Association (IRA), beginning in fall 2011. Under the deal, Wiley-Blackwell will publish IRA's three journals - The Reading Teacher, Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy and Reading Research Quarterly.
Together, IRA and Wiley-Blackwell aim to expand the reach of the journals and offer technological enhancements that allow for more user customisation and interaction such as with tablets and smartphones.
The Reading Teacher serves as a forum for teachers and literacy professionals interested in the teaching of reading to children in the elementary classroom. The Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy publishes research on the teaching of reading to adolescents and adults. Reading Research Quarterly is IRA's research journal for those committed to scholarship on questions of literacy among learners of all ages. All three journals are available on Wiley Online Library.
The International Reading Association was founded in 1956 as a non-profit, global network of individuals and institutions committed to the goal of worldwide literacy. With more than 70,000 members, it claims to be the world's leading voice for literacy professionals.
