Stevenson Reading Program
Stevenson, Nancy
703 .162 STE
OVERVIEW:
The Stevenson Program weaves together a variety of methodologies to improve students’ decoding, encoding
and comprehension. The program works from a base of structured phonics, and presents phonetic elements in a
unique sequence. The program teaches both sound/symbol correspondence and linguistic structures with
multi-sensory techniques. Stevenson incorporates specific phonemic awareness exercises, beginning in the
earliest lessons. Direct instruction is also applied consistently. And, of course, the program uses mnemonics to
enhance all of these strategies. Using several methodologies allows Stevenson to accommodate a variety of
common learning problems.
The program possesses several unusual qualities, but its strategic use of mnemonics is probably the most
important one. "Mnemonics" (pronounced nee-MON-iks) is a term for memory aids.
Skills taught include --- Reading, Spelling, Vocabulary Building, Penmanship, Typing and Grammar.
