Literacy Foundations for English Learners: A Comprehensive Guide to Evidence-Based Instruction by Elsa Cardenas-Hagan is a professional education text focused on how multilingual students develop reading, writing, and oral language in English. Positioned within the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy traditions, the book addresses educators who need research-based guidance that is specific to English learners rather than adapted only from monolingual instruction. Its purpose is not to offer a single program, but to explain the instructional conditions, language knowledge, assessment practices, and classroom routines that support literacy growth for students developing proficiency in English. The book emphasizes that English learners need explicit instruction in foundational reading skills, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing, while also requiring attention to oral language, first-language knowledge, cultural background, and second-language acquisition. Its value lies in connecting reading research with practical decisions teachers make when planning lessons, interpreting student errors, and selecting supports.
