Evidence Base: Does early intervention work? If so, what are the elements of the intervention that make it successful? Brady and Fowler (1988) have found that early intervention does result in improved reading ability when both phonological awareness and knowledge of the alphabet were learned. Some understanding of metalinguistic processes was necessary as well as rapid decoding of single words.
