The Early Literacy Skills Builder (ELSB) is in Imperial Measurements with US English spelling
Early Literacy Skills Builder (ELSB) is an ideal curriculum for users with significant developmental disabilities, autism, or who use a variety of communication methods. ELSB supports students to develop the foundations of literacy (conventions of print, phonemic awareness, letter-sound correspondence, and sight word vocabulary).
ELSB is based upon the principles of systematic and direct instruction and is aligned to standards. It incorporates least-prompt strategies, teachable objectives, built-in lesson repetition, and ongoing assessments. The eight ELSB levels contain five structured lessons each. Instruction may be done in small groups or one-on-one for two, 30-minute daily lessons.
Research Details: ELSB research was conducted through Project RAISE and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Diane Browder, principal author of ELSB, directed an analysis of 128 studies on teaching reading to students with cognitive disabilities. Her research indicated the effectiveness of using systematic instruction techniques to teach sight words. Five years of research have been completed. Sixty students with moderate-to-severe disabilities received daily instruction in the ELSB curriculum. These students were compared with a control group using a sight-word-only approach. ELSB students earned significantly higher scores on the posttest for ELSB as well as the Nonverbal Literacy Assessment and receptive language measures.
Data from the first 3 years of classroom research showed that the ELSB group had higher gain scores (posttest minus pretest) than the control group on all four variables. Accordingly, the funding agency, Institute of Education Sciences, approved the discontinuation of the Edmark control group so that those students could transition to the ELSB curriculum lessons.
