97% Literacy in 25 years: An achievable Goal if Set.
 A Challenge to Universities, NICHD,  and The U.S. Department of Education

A Quick and Painless Reading Assessment Tool.  University Researchers are encouraged to replicate or disprove the accuracy of this very simple test. Graduate students could use this as a basis for a study.

A Short Summary of Traditional Spelling Research

Project Spelling : It has been more than 50 years since a comprehensive baseline study has been made on student spelling grades 2-8.  This is AVKO's  Research Proposal to NICHD, The U.S. Department of Education and those Universities who consider themselves to be leaders in the field of education.  AVKO challenges them to help gather the essential statistics so that researchers, publishers, school systems, and yes, classroom teachers, can determine what is and what isn't caught and what is needed to be taught as well as what methods work best to teach spelling.

Spelling Research Survey Attention University Graduate Students. This could be the basis for your thesis.)

A Challenge to University Researchers To adequately establish the relationship of reading test scores to spelling, a baseline study must be conducted.  The last such study was done in 1954

Word Difficulty Survey  Easily replicable.  Mode & Median are 100%! Only the Mean is less despite the "mathematically obvious" results should be 50/50 by chance.
