Both reports recommended that high quality systematic phonics "should be taught as the prime approach in learning to decode (to read) and encode (to write/spell) print". Phonics should be taught systematically and discretely, however, it should be set within a "broad and rich" multisensory curriculum. The reports stressed the importance of language development (including speaking and listening). The reports also recommended that the "searchlights" model of reading should be replaced with the simple view of reading.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teachingtimes.com/articles/the-simple.htm |title=The Simple View Of Reading - Explained |accessdate=2011-08-24 |last=Dombey |first=Henrietta |work=United Kingdom Literacy Association |publisher=Teaching Times |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120331044923/http://www.teachingtimes.com/articles/the-simple.htm |archivedate=2012-03-31 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
