Literacy Journals Note: Some of these journals are on Facebook!

1. Language Arts (NCTE journal; mainly elementary) *Be sure it is a research article. Some of their articles are “how-to” articles.

2. The Reading Teacher (elementary literacy; International Reading Association) *Be sure it is a research article. Some of their articles are “how-to” articles.

3. Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy (grades 6-12 and adult; International Reading Association)

4. Literacy Research and Instruction 5. Reading Research Quarterly (exclusively rigorous research;

geared more for research; International Reading Association). 6. Journal of Literacy Research 7. Reading and Writing Quarterly 8. Journal of Early Childhood Literacy 9. Bilingual Research Journal

Locating three research articlesYou need articles that have been published within the last 10-12 years.

You are translating empirical research into practice for busy teachers.

• In selecting your three articles you will be reading as you work on your Professional Development handout, here is the link to the E-journals through UTA library.

• Use your NetID and password to logon if you are off campus. You can also talk to one of the reference librarians on campus if you need more assistance.

•  • http://ns6rl9th2k.search.serialssolutions.com/

What is considered a research article? Results of an empirical study, e.g.,. Case

study, qualitative research, survey, etc. Data was collected and results were reported.

Has section headings and key words like data collection, analysis, results, conclusions, implications.

Not a “how-to” practitioner-based article. Should be current (last 10-12 years)

Library databases • http://www.uta.edu/library/ Main UTA library

website• Library Guide for Curriculum and Instructionhttp://libguides.uta.edu/education?hs=a

Research Tip: Bibliography mining. Bibliography mining--Look in the references of

a seminal article for further references to read and locate.

What other research tips can be shared?

Use the “cite” button to choose APA formatting. However, you must still proofread it.

OWL site for APA 6th edition formatting tips is a good resource. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Desktop Sharing: I will share my screen to do a “think-aloud” of searching several library databases Academic Search Complete—casts a wide net ERIC—not as wide a net E-Journals Visual display

Demo search terms: 1) “morph*” and “reading” [focus on teaching

morphemes and/or morphology to enhance vocabulary and comprehension]. [within The Reading Teacher]

2) “fluency” and “intervention” and “elementary” [within Academic Search Complete]

What will the final handout be like?• Evidence-Based Handout (3-4+ pages single-

spaced; include graphics and visuals). • This section reflects how educators take the

research base and apply it in schools/classrooms. You should construct a handout/newsletter that could possibly be shared at a presentation that you could use at a workshop / inservice / professional development meeting.

• This handout should help teachers understand and apply research-based strategies related to your focus area (e.g., fluency building, comprehension development, or whatever topic you chose).

10+ teacher tips that connect or draw from the research (evidence-based practice) 10 teacher tips should be presented that focus on

several key areas of a targeted grade level or grade levels.

You should elaborate (BE SPECIFIC) on the tips so that any teacher could take this from your presentation and put the ideas into practice.

Create a presentation that provides well-developed ideas that schools and teachers, in general, can use. All points must have research support (cite source). You must draw on the research-based journal articles that you read. These will be listed in your References section.

Tip: Often an author or researcher will share free articles on their website (not always) and/or they might have a blog and/or Facebook page. I always check these out! On occasion, a researcher will have a YouTube channel or other social media account where they share knowledge!
