Increasing Oral Reading Fluency for First Grade English as a Second Language Learners
King, Kristen C.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Wilmington University (Delaware)
Students who receive English Learner (EL) services at Forest Oak Elementary School in Newark, Delaware, do so through a pull-out model of instruction. They meet with an EL coach in a separate setting for instruction on reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. A first-grade teacher at Forest Oak Elementary School participated in this study with the goal of improving oral reading fluency scores for EL students by establishing consistent communication and collaboration with the EL coach. Data was collected for all students in the first-grade classroom beginning in September 2021. The bi-weekly meetings took place from October 2021 through January 2022. The study sought to determine if students who receive EL services could demonstrate at least 15% growth on their DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) composite scores between the beginning of the year (BOY) and middle of the year (MOY). To better support students with language needs throughout their oral reading fluency development, the classroom teacher and EL coach met bi-weekly to discuss strengths, strategies, and concerns. The classroom teacher implemented the strategies discussed and continued to collect data from all students to monitor growth and determine the need for additional support.
