About this Issue: Motivation and Literacy Development in Students With or at Risk for Reading Difficulties and Other Diverse Learners
Issue editor: Eunsoo Cho, PhD
Dear Reader
This issue of Topics in Language Disorders was guest edited by Dr. Eunsoo Cho. The issue includes begins with two research syntheses, one that examines the degree to which the motivation of struggling readers is directly addressed in vocabulary interventions (Louick et al.), and the other that examines the extent to which motivational supports are provided and motivational strategies are explicitly taught in basic reading interventions (Cho et al.). The third paper deals with provides an example of how growth mindset support can be embedded within a basic reading intervention program (Al Otaiba et al.). The last paper (Camacho et al.) is a descriptive study in which two writing motivational profiles are identified based on growth mindset and performance-based achievement goals and linked to writing outcomes.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF TLD REVIEWERS
We also draw your attention to the list of reviewers who have contributed reviews for TLD in recent years. TLD depends on scholars who accept invitations to conduct blind peer reviews of the submitted and contributed articles as a means of maintaining its high quality as a peer-reviewed journal. We publish reviewers' names periodically as a form of appreciation, but in a manner that individual reviewers cannot be connected to individual articles.
