Abstract

This study extends further research on the effectiveness and efficiency of the constant time delay procedure. This strategy was tested with four sixth grade participants identified as English language learners. Students were tested on 15 content vocabulary words used at the secondary level in various core academic classes. The selected terms were based on Tier 3 unconventional academic terms that were both non-phonemic and multisyllabic. Over a four week intervention period, all students consistently demonstrated rapid gains in recognition of the selected terms.
