Emergent literacy: A reading support program for pre-schoolers’ successful phonological awareness in the home context
Keywords:
phonological awareness, preschoolers, Literacy, Reading SupportAbstract
On the basis of low phonological awareness, a child who was attending K-2 in a private preschool at the age of 5.8 years was the subject of a single-subject case study. The Peabody Pictionary Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) were used to assess participants’ phonological awareness levels in the study. This exploratory study offers some evidence in support of encouraging early readers to learn phonological awareness in order to increase their reading proficiency and success in the bilingual local setting.
