Websites for
Research-Based Interventions
- The Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education
at Johns Hopkins University houses the
Best Evidence Encyclopedia . This website provides brief,
readable "educator's summaries" of research on educational programs.
It presents educational programs that have been successfully
evaluated in valid research.

- The
Big Ideas in Beginning Reading website is designed to
provide information, technology, and resources to teachers,
administrators, and parents across the country. Big Ideas in
Beginning Reading focuses on the five
BIG IDEAS of early literacy: phonemic awareness,
alphabetic principle, fluency with text, vocabulary, and
comprehension. The website includes definitions and descriptions of
the research and theories behind each of the big ideas, describes
how to assess the big ideas, gives information on how to teach the
big ideas including instructional examples, and finally, shows you
how to put it all together in your school. http://reading.uoregon.edu/
- Check out the
Florida Center for Reading Research for an extensive
review of researched reading programs. This is an excellent site
that provides detailed descriptions of programs, their intended use,
and the extent to which their content, organization, and
instructional strategies are consistent with scientifically-based
research in reading. http://www.fcrr.org/forTeachers.htm

The Starfall
learn-to-read website is offered free as a public service. We also
provide
writing journals and books at a very low cost that can be
used with the website or separately. Teachers around the country are
using Starfall materials as an inexpensive way to make the classroom
more fun and to inspire a love of reading and writing. Primarily
designed for first grade, Starfall.com is also useful for
pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and second grade. http://www.starfall.com/
- The
What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) was established in 2002
by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education
Sciences to provide educators, policy-makers, researchers, and the
public with a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of
what works to improve student outcomes.:
