The study investigated the effectiveness of a supplemental early reading intervention program on the phonemic awareness and alphabetic principle skills of students identified as being at-risk for reading failure. Six instructional assistants and two graduate students in special education provided small-group instruction for 61 at-risk Kindergarten students across three elementary schools. Thirty-two Kindergarten students from the three schools served as controls. Participants were selected based on low scores on the beginning- and middle-of-year benchmark assessments as measured by the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Literacy Skills (DIBELS). Scores on the letter-word identification and word attack subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement-III (WJ-III) were used to verify risk status. Total instructional time varied across instructional assistants. Student participants received between 6.85 and 13.70 hours of instruction across 16 weeks of intervention. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the effects of participation in instruction, total instructional time, and level of treatment quality on the letter-word identification and word attack subtests of the WJ-III.
