| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acquisition of high-frequency words, between English Language Learners (ELLs) and their peers when instructed using the Whole Brain teaching approach. The participants were 11 five- and six-year-olds from a pre-existing kindergarten class in Anne Arundel County Maryland. A pre-post-test design was used to compare data from before and after the implementation of the intervention, with a period of one month between the assessments. Findings from this study suggest that the Whole Brain teaching strategies can yield positive results for all students when used during instruction of high-frequency words. However, the existing data revealed that the acquisition of high-frequency words was not as significant for ELLs as compared to their native-English speaking peers. | en_US |
