Joliet Schools Test Phonics With Color Coded Sounds
Joliet junior high students with reading difficulties tried a color coded phonics method demonstrated by Joyce Niedermeyer of Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Donald D Amico notes first grade use as a trial, and a newsletter will explain methods to parents for feedback.
