Abstract
Objectives: The aim was to investigate the impact of repeated read-aloud teaching strategy on executive function and basic early literacy skills of preschool children.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 60 children. All participants were preschoolers. There are four classes a week, each lasting 30 minutes, for a total of 36 classes. The same picture book was read aloud three times, and the reading time was scheduled on three different school days: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Results: Differences existed between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the pretest and post-test. Children in experimental group outperformed those in the control group in all dimensions of executive function tasks (inhibitory control, working memory, dimensional change card sorting task) and all dimensions of dynamic indicators of basic early literacy skills (the letter naming fluency, phonemic segmentation fluency, nonsense word fluency, word reading fluency, and oral reading fluency.
Conclusions: In order to analyze the impact of integrated executive function language teaching on children's executive function and oral comprehension ability, after adopting a quasi-experimental teaching design, it was found that integrated executive function teaching is helpful to improve children's basic early literacy skills and executive function performance.
期刊介绍:
Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
