Many reading experts say children under six are "not developmentally
ready” to begin reading instruction. They advocate starting in first
grade. These results show those experts
are wrong: "Grown--only 29,997 to go."
Three years from now, when
the matching student cohort finally reaches a third-grade reading level
in our local public schools, Imhotep's best third
graders will be reading on a 6th-grade level (at least).
As the principal said to me not too long ago, we need to totally
change the way we teach reading in this country. That has always been
my goal. Each year, about four million
children enter our school system. We can change what happens to all
of them.

- One goal of the DeHavilland development process was to accelerate phonics instruction enough that it could be used to protect youngsters from teachers who were being forced to rely on bad curriculum. This meant I had to work with students who had not yet reached first grade.
