Examining the effects of a taped-sight word intervention on English learners
Abstract
There has been an increase of English Learners (EL) in schools across the United States. Reading continues to be taught in school, allowing students who are fluent in English to succeed more than students who are limited English proficient. It is extremely important that researchers identify and develop methods that improve reading skills for English Learners. The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of a taped-words intervention using Fry's sight-words to increase EL students basic reading skills. The goal was to determine if the taped-words intervention can increase the number of words known (accuracy). The hypothesized result is that the intervention will increase the number of words known (accuracy).
