Language Arts is a professional journal for elementary and middle school teachers and teacher educators. It provides a forum for discussions on all aspects of language arts learning and teaching, primarily as they relate to children in pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade. Issues discuss both theory and classroom practice, highlight current research, and review children's and young adolescent literature, as well as classroom and professional materials of interest to language arts educators. (Published September, November, January, March, May, and July)

“If teachers speak and are the only ones listening,
what need is there for us to speak? Communication
becomes effective when teachers listen with respect,
so that the stories and wisdom of families can be
heard, acknowledged, responded to, and valued.”
—Amy M. Kay, Andrea Neher, and Lindsey Hall
