This study examined the effects of a supplemental early reading intervention program on the early literacy skills of 12 young, urban, English language learners (ELL) at risk for reading failure. The experimenter implemented the Scott Foresman Early Reading Intervention (ERI) program for all target students. Students in group one received 30 minutes of instruction, four times weekly, for fifteen weeks; students in group two received 30 minutes, four times a week, for eleven weeks; and students in group three received 30 minutes, twice weekly, for seven weeks. A multiple baseline design across students was used to investigate the effects of the ERI program on the phoneme segmentation fluency (PSF), nonsense word fluency (NWF), and oral reading fluency (ORF) of target students as measured by the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS). Data analyses showed that all students increased the number of phonemes segmented, the number of letter sounds produced correctly, and the number of correct words read. Significant gains were evident for students in group one who had demonstrated greater reading deficits but received the longest intensive instruction. More modest gains were seen for students in group three who received the least amount of instruction. Social validity assessments indicated that all participants liked being part of the group, all participants agreed that what they learned was important, and 10 of the twelve claimed to use the skills they had learned.
