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

这是一个规划补助金，制定一项研究计划，明确测试教学方法的比较有效性，教音素操作与替代方法强调一般的识字前技能。该项目的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，可以有效地教弱势学龄前儿童的阅读技能，这将是最好的准备，他们以后的学术成功。该项目将基于波士顿领先计划。

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.
