Criteria Evidence Based Research/Validity Essential Elements in Scope and Sequence Requirement Curriculum is based on findings of the National Reading Panel (NICHD,2000) Curriculum demonstrates evidence of reliability and validity for heterogeneous student samples as well as homogeneous sub-populations. Phonemic Awareness – curriculum provides instruction and practice that enables student to detect, segment, blend, and manipulate sounds in spoken language. Graphophonemic Knowledge (Phonics )- Curriculum focused on the alphabetic principle. Students are taught that words that carry meaning are made of sounds and sounds are written with letters in the right order.
