Audience: education administrators, health professionals, policy makers, professors, graduate students, librarians
Annotation:
An open access scholarly journal publishing research in the field of emergent literacy.
Personal Reaction:This is a scholarly resource that is best suited for professionals, graduate students and librarians. The Journal of Early Childhood Literacy is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal in print since 2001 that publishes research related to the nature, function and use of literacy in early childhood. The Journal of Early Childhood Literacy also includes book reviews of professional titles. Unlike resources such as Reading Rockets or Birth to Six, the content of JECL is scholarly and not intended for parents or caregivers.
Its entire contents are open access, available online and free of charge, making it an attractive source of quality information for people who may not have access to full-text databases. Articles include scientific studies on play-literacy, English language learners, vocabulary acquisition, shared reading, e-books and many other topics.
Strengths: free full-text scholarly articles
Weaknesses: material is intended for a specific audience, and not the general public
