Major Reports

The National Reading Panel (April 13, 2000) reports that a combination of teaching phonics, word sounds, giving feedback on oral reading provides the most effective way to teach reading. In the largest, most comprehensive evidenced-based review ever conducted of research on how children learn to read the National Reading Panel (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000) recently presented its findings. For its review, the Panel selected methodologically sound research from the approximately 100,000 reading studies that have been published since 1966, and from another 15,000 earlier studies. It determined (Hall, 2000) that "effective reading instruction includes teaching children to break apart and manipulate the sounds in words (phonemic awareness), teaching them that these sounds are represented by letters of the alphabet which can then be blended together to form words (phonics), having them practise what they've learned by reading aloud with guidance and feedback (guided oral reading), and applying reading comprehension strategies to guide and improve reading comprehension."
