The present study aims to examine the effects of a combination of academic and behavioral supports on students with emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) who are also struggling readers. A multiple baseline across participants single case design was used to measure the impact of an evidence-based systematic phonics program, in combination with instruction in self-monitoring and self-evaluation via goal setting, on students' word identification/decoding skills, oral reading fluency, and on-task behavior. Curriculum-based progress monitoring measures in nonsense word fluency and oral reading fluency were used to assess participants' progress in reading. Momentary time sampling was the behavior recording method used to measure participants' rate of on-task behavior. The purpose of these assessments was to determine whether the addition of self-monitoring and self-evaluation instruction resulted in improvements in word identification/decoding skills, oral reading fluency, and rate of on-task behavior for participants above and beyond systematic phonics instruction alone.
