The idea
Direct instruction is highly scripted mastery learning: objectives stated first, small steps, immediate praise, and frequent review and practice.
In practice
A scripted early-reading lesson moves sound by sound with choral responses.
Where people slip
It has proved very effective for early reading and arithmetic, the skills it was designed for.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
