Rule, Audrey C.; Dockstader, C. Jolene; Stewart, Roger A.
Early Childhood Education Journal, v34 n3 p195-201 Dec 2006
Object box and environmental print card activities and kinesthetic/oral activities used in two before school programs for Title 1 students are presented for teaching phonological awareness concepts to students in primary grades. A small program evaluation study in which the two experimental groups made similar improvements and larger gains than a control group indicates that the materials are effective for teaching phonological awareness to students at risk of failure in reading.
