Abstract

One of the most essential things a child will learn in elementary school is how to read. Countless hours of research have been done trying to discover the best methods of literacy instruction. As I was taking my education classes to prepare me to be an elementary school teacher, I too wondered about the best methods of teaching children how to read. Many of the methods and theories that are taught as “best practice” originate in New Zealand.
