ILA Jeanne S. Chall Research Fellowship
The fellowship was established to encourage and support reading research by promising scholars. The special emphasis of the fellowship is to support research efforts in the following areas: beginning reading (theory, research, and practice that improves the effectiveness of learning to read); readability (methods of predicting the difficulty of texts); reading difficulty (diagnosis, treatment, and prevention); stages of reading development; the relation of vocabulary to reading; and diagnosing and teaching adults with limited reading ability. Since this grant program has been established to honor and carry on the work to which Dr. Jeanne S. Chall has dedicated her academic life, proposal excellence will be a primary consideration in the selection process.
