Foote 323 viii a CKnowledgeMents Each year that we publish the Yearbook, the editorial team of Fran Falk-Ross, Susan Szabo, Mary Beth Sampson, and Martha Foote step back and acknowledge the tremendous work of so many of our Col- lege Reading Association friends and family who have contributed to the publication process! This year was definitely a superb one, and we wish to consider the efforts of all who made it possible to share the excellent articles within these covers. A large bulk of the thanks are extended to the authors, who care- fully converted their presentations into interesting and thought-provoking manuscripts. The peer reviewed articles in this edition provide a well- balanced look at literacy education in areas of professional development, teacher education, and literacy instruction and assessment. We would like to thank the keynote speakers for sharing their provocative presentations, and the award winners for using our Yearbook to disseminate their novel research. The reviewers for this edition were also a busy group this year. The reviewers were able to find a balance between keeping a keen eye for details in content and mentoring new and seasoned authors with ideas for revisions. How lucky we have been to have our membership participate so freely in this important service for CRA. We also value the support of the CRA Publications Committee, which is chaired by Timothy G. Mor- rison of Brigham Young University. In addition, we are grateful to the members of the CRA Board of Directors who have continually supported the editorial team and the publication of the CRA Yearbook. Our “production crew” consisted of dedicated editorial whizzes Karen Larmon Whalen, Margie Garcia, and Vivian Freeman. Karen Whalen kept the publication process organized through her organized manuscript track- ing, her weekly schedule reminders, and her meticulous line editing. We are thankful to have had her expert eye on the flow of the papers in and out of our offices. Vivian Freeman, as always, was able to assemble and print a wonderful product. In addition, we would like to thank Carlyn Ross Schlechter, as she designed the cover for this Yearbook, depicting the important message of change and energy in the topics through her choice of icons and colors. We are very fortunate and grateful for the ongoing support of scholar- ship and the CRA Yearbook provided by our universities. At Texas A&M University-Commerce, we thank President Dan Jones, Interim Provosts Gary Peer and Mary Hendrix, and the Dean of the College of Education Brent Mangus. We also send our sincere thanks to our colleagues in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction for their ongoing support of the publication and of our editorial team.
