Summary

This study tests a structured phonics program called ALFABETO in first and second graders to see if it improves reading and writing more than usual teaching methods. Over 900 children from schools in Italy will take part, with some classes using the program and others not. The goal is to help all children learn better and to identify those who may have a specific learning disorder (like dyslexia) earlier so they can get the right support.
