Early literacy proficiency is a crucial predictor of later reading success, but research in this area often overlooks the unique challenges faced by English Learners (EL). This study addressed a significant gap in the literature by investigating the relationships between Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) scores, English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) scores, and EL reclassification status. This research addressed four primary research questions. Firstly, it aimed to scrutinize disparities in DIBELS scores, ELPAC scores, and EL reclassification statuses across genders and cohorts for the data selected for this study. Secondly, the association between end-of-year DIBELS scores in grades K-2 and ELPAC scores was investigated to reveal potential connections between early literacy and language proficiency. Lastly, the relationship between DIBELS scores in grades K-2 and EL reclassification was explored, providing insights into the influence of early literacy skills on EL students' progress toward reclassification status. This study contributes to the field of education by examining how DIBELS and ELPAC scores influenced EL students' academic outcomes. The research provides valuable insights by scrutinizing the connections between DIBELS scores and ELPAC scores and their influence on EL reclassification. By identifying factors influencing EL reclassification status, this study furthers the understanding of English language acquisition and academic achievement dynamics for EL students. Ultimately, this research sought to empower educators with the knowledge to tailor interventions and instructional strategies to ensure EL students are better equipped to attain academic success.
