<p>The <em>Handbook of Reading Research</em> is <em>the</em> research <em>Handbook </em>for the field. Each volume has come to define the field for the period of time it covers. <em>Volume IV</em> follows in this tradition. The editors extensively reviewed the reading research literature since the publication of <em>Volume III</em> in 2000, as portrayed in a wide array of research and practitioner-based journals and books, to identify the themes and topics covered. As in previous volumes, the focus is on reading research, rather than a range of literate practices. When taken as a set, the four volumes provide a definitive history of reading research. <em>Volume IV</em> brings the field authoritatively and comprehensively up-to-date.</p> <p>Dedication <br>Preface </p><p><strong>Reading Research in a Changing Era: An Introduction to the <em>Handbook of Reading Research, Volume IV </em></strong><em>Michael L.
