These reading materials extend a programmatic research and de velopment effort spanning over 30 years.
Man y have contributed to the systematic and progressive increase in the cost-effectiveness of these materials,

[!] First, we recognize the contributions of the education professionals at SWRL for initiating
this productive effort. Parts of this work were adapted from the SWRL Beginning Reading
Program, by Southwest Regional Laboratory for Educational Research and Development,
Inglewood, CA. Thanks are expressed to the researchers who conducted the long-term research
and development associated with the Beginning Reading Program .

[!] The long-term and on-going contributions of Patti Willis, for serving as the senior curriculum and
pedagogy advisor, are gratefully acknowledged.

[!] The contributions of Dr. Ben Lignugaris!Kraft are gratefully acknowledged. Ben provided
valuable insights on instructional design theory and directed the programmatic research validating
the role of parents as members of the instructional team.

[!] Penny Hansen Findlay is acknowledged for her long-term development and production
coordination role on earlier editions.

[!] Cathy Elwell provided an invaluable contribution by designing and developing the computer
software that ensured the alignment between specific skill instruction and the application of these
skills to the decodable text.

[!] Last, but not least, I wish to thank those professionals who looked to the scientific evidence on
"what was happening to students," and not to the parade of "passing fads." Among those
professionals I include Jeanne Chall, Marilyn Adams, Barak Rosenshine, David Berliner, Walter
Borg, and Keith Stanovich. To Zig Engelmann and Doug Camine---thanks! Your guidance and
friendship have contributed much to the effectiveness o~ these materials.
