Have you considered consulting with the International Dyslexia Association
for guidance in choosing materials and possibly a well-trained teacher?
There are many programs available beyond HOP to help reinforce the teaching
of a well prepared teacher.   Lucille Cuttler

  Subject: [LearningDisabilities 1715] Research Validated Reading
Instruction- Hooked on Phonics?


  The Special Education Teachers within the Rhode Island Department of
Corrections have been using a series of research validated materials and
techniques to work to enhance the reading achievement of students with
special needs.



  I have been approached by staff requesting we add the "Hooked on Phonics"
program to our inventory.



  Is there research out there to support the utilization of the "Hooked on
Phonics" program as an appropriate instructional program to enhance reading
skills for students with special needs?  Do any of you use it?  What are the
results?



  Thank you.
