BIO
My name is Aliyah Flagg. I grew up in Georgia, and relocated to Panama City Beach, Florida two years ago. I'm a student at Florida State University in the Education Program. I have always dreamed of becoming an elementary teacher. My love for teaching sparked during my time in Asia teaching English as I experienced taking part in educating students and watching them grow in knowledge. From there, my pursuit of becoming an Educator began.

Abstract
This case study features a kindergarten English Language Learner. Based on an analysis of available assessment data sources, an intervention sequence was designed to address the specific challenges the student demonstrated. Changes from pre- to post-test targeting specific phonic needs suggest that English Learners can acquire reading skills via letter sound instruction using multi-sensory instruction.
