Where did the Big Ideas in Beginning Reading come from?*In 1997, congress asked the NICHD, along with the U.S. Department of Education, to form the National Reading Panel to review research on how children learn to read and determine which methods of teaching reading are most effective based on the research evidence. The panel included members from different backgrounds, including school administrators, working teachers, and scientists involved in reading research. Why was the National Reading Panel formed?Many of the nation's children have problems learning to read. If they don't get the help they need, these children will fall behind in school and struggle with reading throughout their lives. Although parents, teachers, and school officials work hard to help kids learn to read, there have been many different ideas about what ways of teaching reading worked the best - and some ideas contradicted each other. Congress asked the NICHD and the U.S. Department of Education to form the National Reading Panel to evaluate existing research about reading and, based on the evidence, determine what methods work best for teaching children to read. What did the National Reading Panel do?Specifically, congress asked the panel to:
In addition, the National Reading Panel held public hearings where people could give their opinions on what topics the panel should study. What are the findings of the National Reading Panel?The National Reading Panel's analysis made it clear that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, systematic phonics instruction, methods to improve fluency, and ways to enhance comprehension. The following is a summary of the panel's findings:
How were the findings of the National Reading Panel used?The findings of the National Reading Panel were highlighted in President Bush's plan for improving education - the No Child Left Behind Act. The NICHD, the National Institute for Literacy, and the U.S. Department of Education also united to form the Partnership for Reading. The Partnership is an effort to distribute evidence-based reading research - such as the findings of the National Reading Panel - to those who can benefit the most from it. The Partnership works to ensure that the methods of reading instruction used in the classroom reflect evidence-based methods, such as those put forth by the National Reading Panel.

What were the findings of the National Reading Panel?The Panel found that many difficulties learning to read were caused by inadequate phonemic awareness and that systematic and explicit instruction in phonemic awareness directly caused improvements in children's reading and spelling skills.
What are the 5 components of the National Reading Panel?The National Reading Panel identified five key concepts at the core of every effective reading instruction program: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension.
Which of the following did the National Reading Panel say are the components of effective instruction?Effective instructional programs and materials emphasize the five essential components of effective reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
What method does the NRP recommends for teaching phonics?Phonics Instructional Approaches
Phonics through Spelling—Teaching students to segment words into phonemes and to select letters for those phonemes (i.e., teaching students to spell words phonemically).
