Evaluation of a Program to Teach Phonemic Awareness to Young Children.
Byrne, Brian; Fielding-Barnsley, Ruth
Journal of Educational Psychology, v83 n4 p451-55 Dec 1991
A program to teach young children about phonological structure was evaluated with 64 experimental group and 62 control group preschoolers in Australia. Results support the efficacy of the program and the principle that phonological awareness and letter knowledge are necessary but not sufficient for acquisition of the alphabetic principle. (SLD)
