Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies have reported the importance of intervention programs to support early literacy in preschool. However, very few studies have tested the efficacy of intervention programs based on the syllabic method. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel computer-based program based on the syllabic method for preschoolers (the Simo-syl program). Sixty-three 5-year-old children participated in the study, and their language and early literacy skills were tested. Thirty-four of them were included in the 12-week computer-based intervention program. The early literacy skills of all the children were then re-tested. The Simo-syl group showed a significant improvement in the syllabic segmentation and word identification tasks. Children with low language competences displayed greater improvements after the intervention than children with higher language competences. The Simo-syl intervention program effectively promotes early literacy skills, especially for children with language fragilities.

基于教学大纲法的学前儿童早期识字干预方案

研究报告了干预计划对支持学前早期读写能力的重要性。然而，很少有研究测试了基于音节法的干预方案的有效性。本研究旨在评估一种新的基于音节法的学前儿童计算机程序(Simo-syl程序)的有效性。63名65岁的儿童参与了这项研究，对他们的语言和早期读写能力进行了测试。其中34人参与了为期12周的计算机干预项目。然后对所有儿童的早期读写能力进行重新测试。Simo-syl组在音节分割和单词识别任务上有显著改善。语言能力低的儿童在干预后比语言能力高的儿童表现出更大的改善。西莫式干预项目有效地提高了早期读写能力，特别是对于语言脆弱的儿童。
