About the Journal

Georgia Journal of Literacy is the peer-reviewed, open-access publication of the Georgia Association of Literacy Advocates (GALA), an affiliate of the International Literacy Association (ILA). We publish research- and practitioner-based articles related to language and literacy education at all levels. We welcome the voices of all literacy advocates, from literacy scholars and researchers, PK–12 classroom teachers and school leaders, and graduate students throughout Georgia and beyond. Our editorial review board, readership, and authorship are nationally representative.

The Spring 2025 issue of the Georgia Journal of Literacy, themed “Beyond the Page: Reimagining Literacy Across Media, Cultures, and Classrooms,” explores diverse practices, from digital texts and AI tools to dialect use and genre blending. Research pieces examine early literacy through multimodality, social-emotional learning (SEL), and teacher identity; a bridging article highlights AI’s role in personalizing instruction for students with autism; and teaching-focused contributions offer practical strategies that celebrate linguistic diversity and integrate literature with science instruction.
