The Stevenson program is highly effective with students who have learning problems. The program possesses several unusual qualities, but its strategic use of mnemonics is what makes the program work. In the July/August 1997 edition of Teaching Exceptional Children, researchers summarized the results of 18 Meta-analyzes on different types of interventions in special education. The edition showed the importance of mnemonic instruction and considered it one of the most effective ways to teach students. The Stevenson program uses mnemonic instruction in imaginative ways to teach and build on reading, spelling, and comprehension skills.
