Nomanis is published twice a year to promote ideas and evidence about effective instruction in reading and related skills, for teachers, parents educational professionals and policymakers. It aims to bring together engaging and readable accounts of developments in the teaching of reading and writing, distilled from the research literature, with a focus on how these findings can be translated into practice.
