Key Points

To determine the effectiveness of intensive, explicit phonological awareness instruction on word reading skills among kindergarten English learners.
Administered 300 minutes of intensive phonological-awareness instruction to an intact classroom of kindergarten English learners.
Compared reading outcomes against a comparison cohort of kindergarten students receiving standard general instruction, analyzing results across high, middle, and low ability groups.
Students receiving the intensive intervention demonstrated significantly greater growth in word reading compared to peers receiving general instruction.
Post-intervention reading performance differed across baseline ability groups, showing distinct developmental patterns among high-, middle-, and low-performing tiers.
