[ send me this research ]
A 5 page paper discussing the case of Janice Herron, a first-grade teacher concerned about the lack of progress of two of her students.

The paper discusses the issue in the context of studies in phoneme awareness and phases of reading through which non-LD children move. The paper concludes that in spending most time teaching reading rather than demonstrating her own skill, Ms. Herron is providing a service to her students, a position supported by the research cited.
