ABSTRACT

The study examined the impact of letter-sound knowledge and initial sound identification on first-grade learners' reading skills. This experimentation used EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment) and a five-session experiment in applying letter sound knowledge and initial sound identification in teaching reading to measure if it is effective in becoming an efficient and good reader. The results showed that this approach has an impact on the reading skills of the learners and found that there was an improvement in the students’ reading abilities from pre-reading to post-reading. The study recommended provisions for future letter sound knowledge and initial sound identification training, like early grade reading assessment repetition and reading support materials.
