Research shows that… • “The strongest predictor of reading success on its own is letter identification.” Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998 • “Learning about letters frequently leads to interest in their sounds and in the spelling of words. This facilitates strong and efficient decoding skills.” Baron, Treiman, Wilf, & Kellman, 1980
No More Letter of the Week! • “Fluent letter recognition is one of the (if not THE) predictors of reading success. Removing letters from their meaningful context removes the meaning and purpose from the letter.” Adams, 1990 • “Children who are taught letters in isolation have difficulty placing that information into literacy activities.” Wood and McLeMore, 2001
