Abstract


This case study features a first-grade English Language Learner's (ELL) development of phonics skills. Based on assessment data designed to measure phonics skills, an individualized, explicit instructional plan was implemented. Posttest assessment scores demonstrate improvement in the student's knowledge of grade-level phonics.
