John,

It's my view that you have to  look at pecisely what the person  (child) is being taught, and how they are being taught before you can label what is going on, e.g., "explicit phonics" or something else.

Do you have that info for the study you cited?  Would it be possible to summarize it for the list?

By the way, I always read that there are 44 phonemes in English.  Where did this "fact" come from?  Anyone know? Urban legend? I have a linguistic source which cites  110 phonemes.

I hope so.

Thanks.

Andrea
