Using the Phono-Graphix Reading Programme as a Literacy Support Intervention Strategy
Shaw, Monica
Support for Learning, v24 n1 p42-48 Feb 2009
The study outlined here was an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of using the Phono-Graphix reading programme with a group of four struggling readers/non-readers. The children selected were in Primary 2 and had already had one-and-a-half years of mixed reading instruction strategies--primarily Jolly Phonics with a 'look and say" approach. The children were taught in twice weekly "pull out" sessions in addition to learning with their peers in their normal, daily classroom lessons. Results showed that they had improved in all literacy sub-skills being assessed. Two of them also improved on standardised assessments. All children were observed to be reading (and spelling) more accurately than at the beginning of the project.
