There is a new presentation available from Dolores Hiskes. Her book is one of the better phonics books out there.
This presentation includes on page 3 information about the "4th grade slump," on page 20 about teaching spelling, and on page 24 about sight words, including this statement, "Activity in one hemisphere suppresses the activity of the mirror-image region on the other side," [From The Mind And The Brain, Schwartz & Begley] which seems to agree with my theory of sight word overshadowing.
You can download her presentation here, it is titled "The Comprehension Dilema."
There are also interesting tidbits throughout about phonics and math.

Jeffrey Schwartz is a smart guy. (I spent a long time interviewing him for Shadow Syndromes.)
I was going to get the book already, now I'm even more interested!
