purpose of this study was to examine the
effects of a federally funded early literacy project that
aimed to promote the school readiness skills of preschoolage
children from low income families. Through daily,
explicit, and systematic instruction, the project targeted to
improve preschoolers’ oral language skills, phonological
awareness, print awareness, and alphabet knowledge that
aligned with the existing curriculum of the local school
district. Data were collected through multiple sources at the
individual child level, classroom level, and from the family/
home environment. Significant gains were found
between pre- and post-tests in child outcomes, classroom
environments, instructional practices, parent attitudes
toward early literacy, and family involvement in literacy
activities. Additionally, classroom organization was identified
as a significant predictor for children’s receptive
language skills. Limitations of the current study and
implications for future research as well as instructional
practices were discussed.
