Where can I find websites about methods of teaching children to read?

I need websites about the best methods to teach children reading. Here's the catch: they cannot have a bias, such as religious or political to the point where it affects their opinion... and they must be credible sources. I need them for a research paper.





The hard part is acquiring non-biased, non-chatroom and blog discussions of Phonetics, phonics, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the information you were searching for but it may give you a start.
Reply:The website below has links to reading literacy, whole word and phonetic methods, and tutorials for students.
Reply:Have you tried ERIC? If you set the search limits to "full text," then you will be able to access some articles online. There are many doctoral dissertations and papers presented at research conferences. If you have access to a university database, you can probably get some journal articles through your library system. I have good luck searching ERIC for my abstracts, choosing what I want, and then going to the library to find the journal articles that ERIC doesn't have.





Also, IRA (International Reading Association) has some articles available for free on its website. There are also position papers on various topics. It is the largest association of teachers of reading, so it is considered a reputable source. The Reading Teacher and Reading Research Quarterly are also well-regarded and peer-reviewed. NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) has some resources available as well.





And if you really want to scrounge, some publishers will post all or part of their education books online. Heinemann generally puts the first chapters up...you can probably glean some good bits from Guided Reading by Fountas and Pinnell or Mosaic of Thought by Zimmerman and Keene. Stenhouse Publishing even has whole books available free online! Not sure why, but it helps in this situation!





You can also get some of the information from the National Reading Panel (NRP). Of course, there is a question about whether this is a biased document, and there are interesting minority opinions, but this should give you something to start with.





Good luck!
Reply:There is so much stuff out there. ERIC should help you find a lot of information.





Here is a website I came across when I was looking into some of the phonics approaches: The Reading Genie
