Rainbow Phonics is based on scientific research into the science of reading.  It has been developed in accordance with decades of reading research and peer reviewed studies into the most effective ways for teaching reading.  Rainbow Phonics is an explicit and systematic program for teaching reading and spelling.  It comes from pioneering work in the development of a scope and sequence and decodable books to support this progression, which started some 20 years ago before it became mainstream.

Rainbow Phonics is also based on scientific evidence.  We have worked with pilot schools and test schools to refine the program and training so that it can be most effective for students.  We have assessed the performance of students and seen outstanding results in reading, decoding, phonemic awareness, and spelling schools.  Importantly, we have also analyzed the performance of dyslexic students and observed what we believe to be a rewiring of their brains as they develop their reading skills and fluency.
