by Stephen Krashen
http://nochildleft.com/2003/may03reading.html

There is insufficient evidence to support the National Reading
Panel's claims that phonemic awareness training significantly
improves children's reading, that systematic phonics instruction is
superior to less intensive instruction, and that skills-based
approaches are superior to whole language. Also, contrary to the
conclusions of the National Reading Panel, there is abundant evidence
that encouraging children to read more in school is beneficial.
