Shannon,

If u like it in theory, we'll send it to u as a 2-page executive summary: An 
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Sound-Speler (aka Sound-Write) Literacy 
Software and Fonic English in Increasing Literacy Skills.   It is a 
field-test performed under the auspices of Teachers College, Columbia 
University.

Best to u.
