Research Instruments for AERA Open Article: Usability of a Reading Intervention for Upper-Elementary English Learners

We developed a multicomponent small-group intervention to support upper elementary multilingual learners classified as English learners (ML-ELs) in reading comprehension. The intervention emphasizes knowledge, language, and structured inquiry (K.L.I.). As part of the iterative design processes used to develop the K.L.I. intervention components, we used interview and observation protocols to gather feedback from teacher collaborators and to examine the extent to which the intended practices of the intervention could be fully implemented.
