Although students with emotional and behaviouraldisorders (EBD) often have concomitant academic andreading deficits, there has been little attentionpaid to effective academic instruction for thispopulation. The traditional approach to helpingstudents with behavioural difficulties is to focusinitially on behaviour; academics becomes a secondaryconcern. However, several authors have suggested thatbehavioural problems can be mitigated througheffective academic instruction and positive outcomes.This study investigates the impact of a theory- andresearch-informed reading intervention on the readingskills, behaviour, and self-perception of studentsidentified as having a behaviour exceptionality. Twomale students from a segregated Grade 5/6/7 classroomparticipated in this study. The research resultsshowed that even with a limited intervention programsuch at this, gains were made in both reading and inbehaviour. These findings show promise forinstructional strategies that focus on the academicachievement of students with EBD.
