Abstract
This thesis examined evidence-based practices in instruction for students struggling to acquire
reading skills. These practices were then used to formulate recommendations which relate to the
Atlantic Canada English language arts curriculum outcomes. The two main purposes for this
thesis were to better inform school psychologists and teachers about evidence-based practices in
reading instruction for students who struggle with reading; and to relate psycho-educational
recommendations to the curriculum outcomes provided in the Atlantic Canada English Language
Arts Curriculum, both in the Elementary K-3 (e.g., New Brunswick Department of Education
Curriculum Development Branch, 1998) and Grades 4-6 (e.g., Nova Scotia Department of
Education and Culture, 1998) documents.
