• The Effectiveness and Ease of Implementation of an Academic Vocabulary Intervention for Linguistically Diverse Students in Urban Middle Schools (2010, background): “In their review, Shanahan and Beck (2006) identified only three vocabulary intervention studies published between 1980 and 2005 that were conducted with language minority learners (Carlo et al., 2004; Pérez, 1981; Vaughn-Shavuo, 1990).”
• Investigating the Effectiveness of a Comprehensive Literacy Coaching Program in Schools with High Teacher Mobility (2010, background): “…letter-sound relationships) in tandem with the development of “more thorough discussion routines around literature” that provide students with multiple opportunities for language use is the most effective path for improving ELL students’ reading comprehension skills (Shanahan & Beck, 2006, p. 448).”
