Teaching Phonemic Awareness to Children in Head Start: A Randomized Evaluation of Two Approaches

这是一项计划拨款，旨在制定一项研究计划，明确测试教授音素操纵的教学方法与强调一般识字前技能的替代方法的比较有效性。项目成果将提供系统的实验数据，解决特定类型的音素意识教学，这些教学可以有效地向弱势学龄前儿童传授阅读技能，使他们为以后的学业成功做好最好的准备。该项目将以波士顿的Head Start计划为基础。

This is a planning grant to develop a research plan to explicitly test the comparative effectiveness of an instructional approach that teaches phoneme manipulation versus and alternative approach emphasizing general pre-literacy skills. The project outcomes will provide systematic experimental data addressing the specific types of phoneme awareness instruction that could be effective in teaching disadvantaged preschool children the reading skills that will best prepare them for later academic success. The project will be based in Boston Head Start programs.
