What reading programs have been proven to help English language learners succeed in reading? To find out, this review summarizes evidence on achievement effects of reading programs for English language learners and other language minority students in the elementary grades. The research summarized in this article shows how much remains to be done on effective reading programs for ELLs and other language-minority students. Only a handful of studies met the minimal inclusion standards applied in this review, which principally required an experimental-control comparison of a reading program over at least 12 weeks, with evidence that the two groups were equivalent at pretest. Seven studies of reading in Grades 2-5 met the inclusion criteria. The evidence generally supported programs that make extensive use of cooperative learning, vocabulary instruction, and literature.
