Research Base
- The Research Base of Basic Reading Series
SRA’s Basic Reading Series uses an orderly, logical structure to teach virtually all of the basic sound/symbol and phonic patterns of English. The program is suitable for struggling, at-level and above level students in Grades K through 5. The National Reading Panel research fully supports the fundamental concepts and instructional design of the Basic Reading Series. The report was published in December, 2000 by The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
