The effects of a technology enhanced toy on emergent literacy skills were assessed with Head Start children in a midwestern state. Forty-one children were randomly assigned to the technology enhanced toy, PowerTouchTM Learning System, or literacy books. Each participated in weekly 25-minute sessions over a period of six weeks. The Test of Early Reading-Third Edition assessed emergent literacy skills including alphabet knowledge, conventions of print, and construction of meaning. There were no significant findings regarding an increase in literacy skills. More time was spent by the technology enhanced toy group than the books only group in the sessions. 2007-02-28 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1171411509 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1171411509 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
