The Effects of Rhyme and Music on the Acquisition of Early Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Skills

Bostelman, Tiffany J.

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
Sixteen preschool students enrolled in a preschool participated in this study. The purpose of this project was to determine if integrating rhymes and music with early reading instruction increased preschool students' basic phonemic and phonological awareness skills. The effects of rhyme and music on the acquisition of these skills were made through the use of a phonics program that utilized rhyme as a means of instruction. The change in students' phonological and phonemic awareness was measured by four monthly assessments using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Emergent Literacy Skills. Results indicated that as a class, students improved in their early literacy skills.
