WSRA Journal

Contact Journal Editor

The WSRA Journal is a themed, three times a year publication that addresses current topics and presents educational strategies for classroom instruction in reading and language arts.

Each issue includes a Call for Manuscripts. WSRA members are encouraged to submit good ideas on any topic. The general themes listed in the Call for Manuscripts are only suggested guides.

The WSRA Journal is available to all WSRA members.

You are encouraged to submit your good ideas on any topic. Have you done any classroom research? Have you tried a new strategy with your class that has had good results? Share the news!

Separate features, such as nonpeer- reviewed essays, poetry, and reviews are welcomed as are papers that give us a glimpse of education in Wisconsin’s history; all of these are printed as space allows. Photographs of students engaged in literacy activities are welcomed.

Wee Voice and Youth Voice welcomes prose and poetry, one page in length, written by children. Signed parental permission is required. Manuscripts and photos cannot be returned unless accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

All Journal articles will be blind peer-reviewed. You will receive notice of the status of your manuscript in 3 –6 months.

Editorial Guidelines

Please consult APA guidelines for proper style. All citations must be in strict APA format. Failure to adhere to APA format, especially with regard to citations and references, could result in the return and perhaps non-use, of manuscripts. Our staff is small and we are unable to re-edit your citations and references. Submit only articles and poems not previously published.

Permission for the reproduction of another's work within your manuscript must be submitted in writing along with the manuscript.
