The impact of the multi-sensory program ALFABETO on the development of literacy skills of third stage pre-school children

Abstract

Here we present the results of the pilot-project undertaken in ten Pre-Schools with third stage (5 year-old) children who used ALFABETO Multisensory Program. The study shows that the project rendered meaningful results as to the development of writing hypotheses among the children who had access to the program. We also observed the opinions of the teachers involved in the project, who mentioned that ALFABETO motivated students to develop their reading, writing and oral skills, and promoted socialization and interaction among students. © 2009 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
