Finally, it has arrived! Our latest issue of The Literacy Looking Glass has been a long time coming. In between last issue and this one, editorship has shifted from the esteemed Adrienne Chasteen Snow to a partnership between Amanda Volponi and Jeremy Coster. We realize the challenge of filling such shoes and hope that our efforts have produced an informative collection of our students' work from the Fall 2006 semester.

The five research studies and one literature review in Volume 5 Number 1 present a fresh look at classroom realities and effective strategies for dealing with a variety of learning styles. Our purpose is to make the most current student research available to reading and language arts professionals who wish to stay abreast of current trends in the field. We hope that the information contained herein will contribute to the success of your students.

We would like to thank all who helped us along on our maiden voyage as co-editors.  Doctors Cathy Kurkjian and Kenneth Weiss offered some practical editing and formatting advice. Special thanks to Chris Abadiano, Chad Albert, and all the folks at the Faculty Computing Center and Information Technology for assisting us as fledgling web designers. Your donation of valuable time is much appreciated.
