Writing is an essential skill that people use throughout their lifetime. Although previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses had reviewed the effect of writing interventions on students with learning disabilities and English learners, we know little about the effective writing process-types interventions for English learners with or at risk for learning disabilities (ELs with LD). Therefore, this systematic review identified and synthesized seven writing intervention studies that include ELs with LD. We further analyzed participant characteristics, interventionist characteristics, instructional methods, and intervention outcomes across studies. The result showed the scarcity of quantitative intervention studies in the area. Some commonly implemented intervention elements are identified and discussed, as well as implications, limitations, and future directions.
