Literacy is one of the most important areas of development. Several pieces of research examine the positive impact of the arts on children's literacy development.

Kilgore, Wendy – College and University, 2020
2019 was a bit different from previous years for the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) Research. Since they had six larger-scale research projects (of which several were calendared over the summer months), they did not want to overly burden their members with surveys. This resulted in four 60-Second…
