Abstract
This research study examined the effects of an evidence-based intervention in phonological awareness with first grade English language learners (ELLs). The study had 6 participants ranging in age from six to seven. Of the participants, three were ELL and the other were native English speakers, or non-ELL. The intervention group received explicit phonological awareness instruction for eight weeks. There were two major findings from the research: all students experienced growth in their phonological awareness and ELLs made similar gains in their phonological awareness as their non-ELL peers. The results indicate that evidence-based phonological awareness interventions are valuable for ELLs and non-ELLs.
