What Does the Report of the National Reading Panel Really Tell Us about Teaching Phonics?

Garan, Elaine M.

Language Arts, v79 n1 p61-71 Sep 2001

Analyzes research in the phonics section of the Report of the National Reading Panel to examine what the data, as opposed to the Panel's interpretation and reporting of the data, say about the role of phonics in reading instruction. Suggests the methodology of the Report is flawed, and results reported in the Summary are not supported by the Panel's own data. (SG)
