Abstract
Abstract The process of learning to read is more difficult for English language learners (ELLs) because they are often learning a new language as they are trying to learn to read. Learning irregular/high-frequency words (sight words) may be especially challenging for ELL students. Limited research exists on the effects of interventions designed to help ELL students read phrases containing sight-words. This study used a multiple-probe design across sets of phrases to evaluate the effects of a tablet-based phrase intervention on an ELL student’s acquisition of phrases containing sight-words. Repeated measure graphs indicate an immediate increase in acquired phrases following intervention delivery with a steep increase in phrase acquisition. Additionally, the student was able to maintain gains after the intervention phase. The discussion emphasizes the delivery of the phrase intervention in the classroom setting.
期刊介绍：
With a new publisher (Taylor & Francis) and a new editor (David L. Wodrich), the Journal of Applied School Psychology will continue to publish articles and periodic thematic issues in 2009. Each submission should rest on either solid theoretical or empirical support and provide information that can be used in applied school settings, related educational systems, or community locations in which practitioners work. Manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal will reflect psychological applications that pertain to individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways in which to disseminate information about practically sound and empirically supported school psychology practice.
