UKLA HONOURS ACADEMIC TEXTS
UKLA Wiley-Blackwell Research in Literacy Education Award
Winners announced of the UKLA /Wiley-Blackwell Research in Literacy Education Award 2013. This is an important and prestigious prize that is awarded each year to one paper in each of UKLA’s journals, Journal of Research in Reading and Literacy. Editors of both journals, in liaison with members of their boards, submit papers to a panel, who read all of the papers and decide on the winners. A list of the shortlisted papers can be found on the UKLA website www.ukla.org .This year, the panel found the quality of all submissions to be high and congratulate all authors of the shortlisted papers on their achievement. It was, therefore, a challenging process for the panel but, ultimately, the following papers were deemed to be outstanding and worthy of this year’s award: Journal of Research in Reading Bianco, M., Pellenq, C., Lambert, E., Bressoux, P., Lima, L., & Doyen, A.-L.
