The authors explored Itchy's Alphabet as an innovative approach to teaching letter–sound connections through multisensory cues. This is the initial demonstration of this instructional method for increasing students’ sublexical skills (letter identification, letter–sound knowledge, and phonological awareness).

To examine the effectiveness of the program, the authors chose 3 kindergarten classrooms as intervention and comparison classes. The authors chose the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (R.

Kame'enui, R. Kaminski, & J. Download De Super Mario Advance 4 Gba Rom Coolrom Snes. Wallin, 2002) to monitor early decoding progress because of its unique ability to assess and monitor young children's acquisition of early reading skills. Results show that Itchy's Alphabet, combined with hands-on manipulatives, was strongly connected to children's grasp of sublexical skills. Test scores indicated gains for all children including those who were at risk, children who received special education services, and typically developing children.

Meet the Alphafriends Each week the kindergarten students will be introduced to a new Alphafriend who will teach them about a new letter of the alphabet. Each Alphafriend has his/her own song to help the students learn the sound of the letter. Downloadable versions of our Alphafriend cards are available in many different formats. Please choose what works best for you and your family. Have your child click on the Alphafriend’s picture to learn more about them. It will take them to a Starfall interactive video.
