I’m frequently asked for places to go to learn about Direct Instruction.
So, here’s a summary.
I’d probably suggest starting with ‘Psychology Learning Resources,’ for an intro / overview.
Books
- Solity (2008) – The Learning Revolution
- Engelmann & Carnine (1982) – Theory of Instruction (the magnus opus)
- Engelmann (1992) – War! Against the Schools’ Academic Child Abuse
- Engelmann & Carnine (2011) – Could John Stuart Mill Have Saved Our Schools?
- Stockard (2017) – The Science and Success of Direct Instruction
Other

- Carnine (2000) – Why Education Experts Resist Effective Practices
- Snider (2004) – A Comparative Study of Spiral versus Strand Curriculum

That oughta do it!
