Dr. Donald D. Durrell, author of the Learning Letter Sounds program, has had a long and
illustrious career in the field of reading education. In 2000, Boston University honored him by devoting an entire publication of the
Journal Of Education to his life and works (Volume 182 Number 1, 2000).
As dean of the School of Education at Boston University, clinical researcher and author of dozens of tests and instructional
programs, he set a course that recent researchers have followed. He and his colleague, Dr. Helen Murphy directed more than
three hundred research studies in reading readiness and beginning reading (abstracted in the above mentioned Journal of Education).
The instructional techniques that Durrell and Murphy developed, working with children over fifty years, are employed in
the Learning Letter Sounds instructional program.
