Murray, Bruce; Wang, Chi-hsuan; Murray, Geralyn; Sanders, Mary; McHugh, Ashley – Reading Teacher, 2022
In a quasi-experimental study, kindergarten teachers taught children mnemonic stories to orient the confusable letters "b" and "d." In the first week's stories, intervention teachers introduced the left-to-right sequence of features for these letters with "the bat hits the ball" and "a dime rolls up to a…

Heer, Harjot; Beers, Jennifer L. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2023
Letter names are some of the many preschool accomplishments that are of particular relevance to later academic challenges. However, many children enter school without having fluent letter name knowledge. The current study evaluated the effects of a taped-letter (TL) intervention delivered through PowerPoint on the accuracy of letter identification…

Marilyn Keller Nicol – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This mixed methods study explored the influence of an interactive writing intervention on preschoolers' skills of emergent literacy, as well as teacher perceptions of the intervention. Before the intervention assessment scores were collected on the subscales of letter name identification, letter sound identification, onset-rime blending, and…

Gila Apelboim-Dushnitzky; Oren Tova – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study tested the potential of a technological intervention procedure for promoting letter-naming and initial-phoneme detection skills among preschoolers at risk for Specific Learning Disorder. The study rational is based on evidence for paired associated learning of visual-verbal stimuli, integrated with the use of a tangible technological…

Ray, Karen; Dally, Kerry; Rowlandson, Leah; Tam, Kit Iong; Lane, Alison E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Evidence supports a link between handwriting and aspects of literacy, including both reading and writing. Most evidence, however, pertains to children from grade one and above, once foundation skills known to support emerging literacy have been established. The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesise the extant literature concerning…

Patricia F. Vadasy; Elizabeth A. Sanders – Grantee Submission, 2023
This is the second in series of studies designed to test direct and conditional effects of embedded cognitive practice in phonics instruction. Students identified in winter of kindergarten with minimal alphabet knowledge were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: explicit phonics (Plain) (n = 28) or explicit phonics with embedded cognitive…

Robert B. Williams – Online Submission, 2024
Handwriting was a therapeutic intervention with an adolescent victim of a serious electrical accident that occurred in 1972. It was initiated two months after the accident as one aspect of educational therapy. The handwriting tasks involved copying numbers, printing letters, copying shapes, practicing cursive letters, writing sentences, and…

Howard Goldstein; Lindsey A. Peters-Sanders; Keri M. Madsen; Jeffrey M. Williams; Jack Drobisz; Elizabeth A. Broome; Susan Freda; Lauren A. McKeever; Trina D. Spencer – Grantee Submission, 2024
Purpose: Phonological awareness and alphabet knowledge are fundamental building blocks for literacy development. We identified preschoolers with persistent delays in these skills and evaluated the efficacy of a supplemental curriculum to remediate deficits in early literacy skills. Method: Using a cluster design, 21 classrooms were randomly…

DeBruin-Parecki, Andrea; Cartwright, Kelly B. – Reading Teacher, 2023
Although much is known about supporting preschoolers' alphabet knowledge, less is known about instructional moves that support preschoolers' narrative comprehension or how preschoolers' developing cognitive skills may support their narrative comprehension development. This school-university partnership project examined relations of preschoolers'…

Nakeva von Mentzer, C.; Kalnak, N.; Jennische, M. – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Children with Down syndrome (DS) using intensive computer-based phonics (GraphoGame, GG) were studied. The children's independence and improvement in phonological processing, letter knowledge, word decoding, and reading strategies were investigated. Seventeen children (5-16 years) with DS participated in a crossover design through 8 weeks (one…

Lavoie, Natalie; Morin, Marie-France; Coallier, Mélissa; Alamargot, Denis – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2020
Learning to write involves the acquisition of several skills, not the least of which is handwriting. Indeed, studies in cognitive psychology have clearly demonstrated that it takes time to acquire this complex skill. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an explicit multicomponent alphabet writing instruction program implemented…

Rachmani, Rachel – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2020
Phonological awareness (PA) and alphabet knowledge (AK) are two of the strongest predictors of reading acquisition, and evidence shows that many New Zealand children are entering school with low levels of emergent literacy (EL) skills. The current research showed that four-year-old children identified as having low levels of EL, who participated…

Brenda Aromu Wawire; Adrienne Elissa Barnes-Story; Xinya Liang; Benjamin Piper – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Many children living in linguistically diverse low- and middle-income countries learn to read and write in multiple languages. Recent research provides implications for effective reading instruction with multilingual learners (e.g., Hall et al. in New Dir Child Adolesc Dev 166:145-189, 2019). However, there is limited empirical evidence on…

Jessica Leigh Block – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) is commonly thought of as one of the best predictors of reading achievement when compared to phonological awareness and letter name knowledge (Norton & Wolf, 2012). However, only one previous study has demonstrated significant growth following a RAN intervention (Vander Stappen & Reybroeck, 2018). This…
