Title: Kinesthetic and Tactical Phonological Awareness in Kindergarten
Faculty Mentor: Tawn Ketterman
Presentation Type: Poster
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of teaching instruction using tactical and kinesthetic activities on kindergarten students ability to identify and produce initial sounds. Many early learners benefit from hands-on, movement-based learning experiences that engage multiple senses. This study aims to determine whether incorporating these methods into phonemic awareness instruction improves student outcomes.
