The author traces the programs history and its success in the Sacramento California public school system. The  programs advantages in terms of a phonics instructional approach and its conformation with the inclusion requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act are emphasized.  Introduction A variety of approaches have been used over the last decade to accelerate reading skills among elementary students. This  goal has been necessitated by the prevalence of students who were passing through the educational system without acquiring adequate reading skills. As a result of the Comprehensive School Reform  Demonstration Program Act of 1998 low achieving schools were rewarded for their adoption of proven reading models (Skindrud and Gersten, 2006). With the 2001 adoption of the No Child  Left Behind Act (P.L. 107-110) reading skills found themselves the subject of even more critical focus.
