Family Literacy Forum is committed to bringing the ideas and experiences of individuals in the field to the forefront of discussions about the literacy development of families in home, community, and school-based settings. The Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy has three goals: To develop a sound conceptual, interdisciplinary research base for guiding practice and policy; to build the capacity of the field to provide high quality, research-based instruction and program development; and to provide leadership in family literacy through communication and collaborative action with professional organizations, state departments of education, policy makers and the general public. For this issue, we welcome manuscripts that focus on research regarding the development of literacy in families and/or family literacy programs. These should employ any of the following and should include implications for practice: 1. Qualitative and/or quantitative empirical studies 2. Conceptual arguments based on prior research 3. Research reviews in an effort to expand understanding of a particular topic 4. Reports focusing on aspects of evaluation theory, practice and method Discussions about implications for practice may: - Explore practical ideas for working with families and their literacy development - Examine the role of research and continuous program development - Raise issues and concerns about current research and practice in the field Manuscript Preparation - Manuscripts should be between 1,000 and 5,000 words. - Submissions should be typed double-spaced, including quotations and references. - Submissions should be typed in 12-point font. - Include a cover sheet with the manuscript title, authors' names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. - The names of the authors should not appear on the text as submissions are reviewed anonymously by peers. Instead, type an identifying word on the top of each page. - Follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, for reference style guidelines.
