The Dina Feitelson Research Award was established to honor the memory of Dina Feitelson. It is an award that recognizes an outstanding empirical study, published in English in a peer-reviewed journal, that reports on an investigation of aspects of literacy acquisition such as phonemic awareness, the alphabetic principle, bilingualism, home influences on literacy development, or cross-cultural studies of beginning reading. The results of the research should have clear implications for instruction. Empirical studies that have been published in a peer-reviewed journal between January 2024 and December 2024 are eligible for consideration. To be eligible, the lead author of the submitted article must be an ILA member in good standing and maintain active membership through June 30, 2026. Eligible articles should be submitted as a clear, high-quality, and complete copy of the published paper with full bibliographic information identifying the author(s), source, and publication date. Articles may be submitted by the author or the author's colleagues. Please note that authors of articles submitted by a colleague are no longer required to complete a separate application.
