The International Reading Association released its annual list that forecasts "hot" topics in literacy education. Hot is not the same as important, but indicates an area of high interest or even debate among reading experts. Conducted by Jack Cassidy,Stephanie Grote-Garcia, and Evan Ortlieb, the 2016 survey polled 25 leading literacy scholars and researchers to find what's hot and what's not.
