The International Reading Association’s Albert J. Harris Award recognizes outstanding published works focused on the identification, prevention, assessment, or instruction of learners experiencing difficulty learning to read or write. Publications that have appeared in a refereed professional journal between January 2007 and December 2007 are eligible for consideration by the Research Publication Committee. Eligible works include reports of empirical studies that involve the collection of original data and/or articles that develop theory or synthesize knowledge. In addition to the $1,000 monetary award, the author(s) of the selected work will receive recognition at the Research Awards Luncheon of the Reading Research Conference on Saturday, May 2, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota (one day prior to the International Reading Association’s Annual Convention). The selected author (s) will be notified of this information in January 2009. The following criteria will guide the nomination and selection process: 1. The degree to which the work extends current understanding of the prevention, assessment or instruction of learners struggling to read or write. 2. In the case of works that are based on existing data, the application of explicit and rigorous criteria for selecting, analyzing, and synthesizing evidence and the appropriateness of related conclusions. 3. In the case of original investigations, the application of a rigorous research design and the appropriateness of related conclusions. 4. In the case of theory development, theory that is soundly grounded in research. 5. Clarity of writing. A subcommittee of the International Reading Association Research Publications Awards will conduct a systematic review of professional journals, resulting in nomination of eligible works. In addition, articles may be nominated by researchers, authors and others. Nominated manuscripts should be submitted as clearly reproduced copies including an accurate, verifiable, and complete bibliographic citation and should be received at Association headquarters no later than September 1, 2008.
