Abstract

A research analysis investigates how the Phonics Explorer tool succeeds as an interactive smartboard game to improve phonemic awareness and letter-sound connection in 5-year-old preschool students. The research investigates Sendayan Matrix Global School participants through both quantitative tests PAT-2, CTOPP-2, and DIBELS pre and post-intervention measures and qualitative observations made by three preschool teachers. The Phonics Explorer implements cognitive learning theories together with gamification strategies to create an interactive system that drives better student participation and education achievement. Research results indicate participants will rural areas marked progress in phonemic awareness and letter-sound skills to enable the broad adoption of technology-based phonics education in early childhood literacy curriculums. The study delivers important knowledge about gamified skill development in phonology and delivers key strategy recommendations for preschool curriculum development.
