 National Reading Panel |
“In 1997, Congress asked the Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)* at the National Institutes of Health, in consultation with the Secretary of Education, to convene a national panel to assess the effectiveness of different approaches used to teach children to read. The NRP worked for over two years reviewing and creating the document: ‘The Report of the National Reading panel: Teaching Children to Read.” ‘” Currently, NICHD has formed a partnership with the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) and the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to work on continued dissemination and implementation efforts of the NRP Report, as part of NIFL's overall mission to disseminate and implement research-based reading practices.

Phonemic Awareness refers to the ability to hear, speak, and manipulate individual sounds in words when spoken. This auditory skill is developed prior to letter or word recognition. An example would be to hear the words “moon” and “moose” and be able to identify both words have 3 phonemes but isolate the last phoneme as being different (/m/-/oo/-/n/ vs. /m/-/oo/-/s/) . Phonemes do not have a one to one correspondence with letters. For example the long sound of a, can be represented by 8 different letter combinations –a, ae, eigh, ay, ( look up). (There are over 40 phonemes but only 26 letters.) See National Reading Panel FAQs: “What is phonemic awareness (PA)? And” What did the Panel conclude about phonemic awareness (PA)?”
