| Popis: | a b s t r a c t This study investigates whether a curriculum supplement organized as a sequence of teacher-led lit- eracy activities using digital content from public educational television programs can improve early literacy outcomes of low-income preschoolers. The study sample was 436 children in 80 preschool class- rooms in California and New York. Preschool teachers were randomly assigned to implement either a 10-week media-rich early literacy intervention that employed clips from Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and SuperWhy! or to a comparison condition. The media-rich literacy supplement had positive impacts (+0.20 ≤ d ≤ +0.55) on children's ability to recognize letters, sounds of letters and initial sounds of words, and children's concepts of story and print. The study findings show the potential for incorporating lit- eracy content from public media programming into curriculum supplements supported by professional development to impact early literacy outcomes of low-income children. |
