What research is this method based on?
In 1997 Congress assembled a National Reading Panel composed of 14 individuals, including (as specified by Congress) “leading scientists in reading research, representatives of colleges of education, reading teachers, educational administrators, and parents.” The panel was given the task of examining research studies on the most effective methods for teaching young children to read. The panel found that over 100,000 research studies on reading have been published since 1966, with perhaps another 15,000 appearing before that time. After several years of study, the panel concluded that direct and systematic phonics instruction is significantly better than alternative forms of training in helping children acquire phonemic awareness and enabling them to apply this skill in their reading and spelling.
Miss Connie has used this researched and inspiration from “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” in her curriculum.
