B27 - Vocabulary for Literacy: Developing an Early Literacy Curriculum for Preschoolers
Mentor: Arnold Olszewski, Ph.D.
Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in words (Anthony & Francis, 2005). Phonological awareness and vocabulary are foundational skills for literacy (NELP, 2008). There is evidence of a relationship between phonological awareness and vocabulary knowledge in children (Metsala, 1997). This project will explore a novel intervention strategy for vocabulary and phonological awareness, based on best practices.
