Reading & Writing is LITASA’s open-access, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary and inter-professional scholarly journal that explores how literacy is defined, enacted and promoted in a range of institutional, sociocultural and disciplinary contexts, particularly within Africa and other developing countries. 

Reading & Writing publishes one issue per year. Individual articles are published as soon as they are ready for publication by adding them to the table of contents of the current volume and issue. Special issues may be added on an ad-hoc basis to the journal throughout a particular year and will form part of consecutive issues afterwards. The journal is published by AOSIS and is available on numerous lists of accredited journals.

The Journal Manager is Prof Janet Condy. The Editor-in-Chief is Dr Naomi Boakye (University of Pretoria) and the Associate Editors are Prof Surette van Staden (University of Pretoria), Prof Kerryn Dixon (Wits University) and Prof Carien Wilsenach (Unisa).
