Jerry then spent 12 years as a classroom teacher, working in a high-poverty elementary school. During this time, he field tested a wide variety of Direct Instruction programs designed for intermediate grade students who were several years below grade level. Silbert began his work on authoring textbooks and instructional programs while he was teaching. In 1979, he co-authored Direct Instruction Reading, Direct Instruction Math, and several language arts instructional programs.

He has directed several national federal research initiatives on reading, and served on the original advisory boards for the PBS television shows "Between the Lions" and WETA's "Reading Rockets." Dr. Kame'enui has co-authored 20 college textbooks (including 4th editions of two books) on teaching reading, curriculum design, vocabulary instruction, higher order thinking, and classroom management. He has more than 150 publications including 100 refereed research articles and 50 book chapters. In 2006, Dr. Kame'enui was awarded the Distinguished Special Education Researcher Award from the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
