From the Editors…

In this issue, we are pleased to offer a vibrant collection of articles that illuminate literacy as a dynamic, agentive, and joyful pursuit.Across these pages, authors bridge research and practice to show how literacy grows through relationships, community, and purposeful engagement.From strengthening self-efficacy for students with dyslexia to cultivating multilingual joy through pen pals-these contributions invite us to consider how literacy can empower, connect, and inspire.We also highlight the role of community through author talks that bring educators into conversation with creators, and we revisit a powerful article from decades past that reminds us how enduring our shared challenges and commitments are.Happy Reading!
