Research & Results
Recent data further substantiates the success rate of the dEcode™ method for reading and math.
Four recent case histories:
These case studies form part of my professional data research and should not be used for personal or other third party comparisons. Results vary by individuals.
• Subject 1: 33 year old male, with two children
• Subject 2: A young woman, 18 years old
• Subject 3: A 50 year old man, who is a university graduate
• Subject 4: 9 1/2 year old boy
In addition to anecdotal reports and case studies among our subject population, we have recently completed a study with the Niagara District Catholic School Board with children between the ages of 8 and 12.
The results are clear.
In only three months, the experimental group attained an average increase of 2 to 3 grade levels in their reading decoding skills as compared to the control group, who showed no improvement.
In summary:
The children clearly paid attention to the training program (in fact, they gave the impression to the trainers that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it seemed in many cases to raise their self-esteem). Of significant importance, this research demonstrated that dEcode™, the method, stands on its own, without Dr. Debby Chesnie Cooper teaching the individual herself. This fact was confirmed by the high statistical results on the Phonolog Test, which was designed specifically for regular-spelling nonsense word reading and therefore conforms to the specifics of the training program (overall effect of Group (p < .001).
Children in the bottom 30th and especially 25th percentile of word decoding skills as measured by the WRAT III definitely benefitted from the program, i.e. their improvement scores (post versus pre) on the WRAT Reading raised significantly more (p< .03) than did those of the control group. It is encouraging to see that in such a short period of time there were significant comparative gains in decoding scores, indicating this method in particular is successful for individuals scoring below the 25th percentile. |
