Abstract

Six at-risk kindergarten students participated in this study. They were enrolled in a racially and socio-economically diverse classroom with nineteen other students in an urban city school district in a Midwestern state. The purpose of this study was to determine if implementing phonemic awareness activities with this small group of students would increase their basic early literacy skills. The study was conducted for a one-month period. The participants were assessed before the intervention began and again when the intervention had been completed. Based on the data from the study, all of the students improved their knowledge and abilities to work with letters and sounds as shown by the data.
