  • Beginning Reading: Influences on Policy in the United
    BEGINNING READING: INFLUENCES ON POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND 1998-2010 A Dissertation Submitted to the College of Education of Aurora University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education by Elizabeth Robins April 2010 Beginning Reading: Influences on Policy in the United States and England 1998-2010 by Elizabeth Robins [email protected] Committee members: Ronald Banaszak, Chair Carla Brown, Member Deborah Brotcke, Member Abstract The study investigated the divergence in beginning reading methods between the United States (US) and England from 1998 to 2010. Researchers, policy makers, and publishers were interviewed to explore their knowledge and perceptions concerning how literacy policy was determined. The first three of twelve findings showed that despite the challenges inherent in the political sphere, both governments were driven by low literacy rates to seek greater involvement in literacy education. The intervention was determined by its structure: a central parliamentary system in England, and a federal system of state rights in the US. Three further research-related findings revealed the uneasy relationship existing between policy makers and researchers. Political expediency, the speed of decision making and ideology i also helped shape literacy policy. Secondly, research is viewed differently in each nation. Peer- reviewed, scientifically-based research supporting systematic phonics prevailed in the US, whereas in England additional and more eclectic sources were also included. Thirdly, research showed that educator training in beginning reading was more pervasive and effective in England than the US. English stakeholders proved more knowledgeable about research in the US, whereas little is known about the synthetic phonics approach currently used in England.

One jointly by the Prime Minister and his Chancellor - they were on their best behaviour, gold stars all round. Our panel: Robin Cook has been busy since leaving government two years ago and I don't just mean public appearances like the award ceremony in which he was embraced by the Big Brother housemate - Brigitte Nielsen. He's kept up the pressure on Tony Blair over the Iraq war and by contrast spoken increasingly warmly about Gordon Brown, describing him recently as the dominant force in sustaining the British economy. John Bercow has had a bit of bother with his party bosses too. He's in and out shadow ministerial career has looked definitively out since he lost his job as shadow international development secretary reportedly for giving too much credit to Tony Blair's foreign policy. He thinks Mr Blair was honest about the war too. Such views mean that he now has to endure regular press reports that he's about to defect to Labour. Julia Hartley-Brewer is a newspaper political editor for the Sunday Express with a taste for broadcasting, she's co-presented LBC's breakfast show and been a guest on Have I Got News For You.
