“…The suitability of the media is very good and teachers feel that it is efficient to use the media when storytelling in the classroom. A good storytelling method supported with good media would not only support the language development of the children, but also influence children's reading interest which in turn can lead to their improvement in reading skills (Miller & Pennycuff, 2008;Wayne, DiCarlo, Burts & Benedict, 2007).…”

This research aimed at designing a picture book which is based on local folktales to support children’s early literacy. With observation and one group pre-test post-test experimental design, the main field test was carried out to a total of 120 preschool children aged 5 and 6 years old. Of the total, 43 children were chosen as the control group, while the other 77 children were as the experimental group. An independent sample t-test was used to determine the score difference between the two groups. The findings show that there is an improvement in reading readiness among the experimental group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the local folktale picture book developed in this study can give a positive impact on children’s early reading development. The implication of this study is expected to shed light on the importance of local culture in children language development.

“…The ELLCO is comprised of three parts: a literacy environment checklist, a general classroom observation and teacher interview and a literacy activities rating scale. The ELLCO has a proven track record of increasing literacy behaviors in children through the modification of the environment and teacher mediation (Wayne, DiCarlo, Burts, & Benedict, 2007).…”

“…Through instruction and/or intervention, the adult is granted to scaffold a skill into classroom practices, especially concerning literacy abilities, for instance, the understanding of the alphabetic principle (Botts et al 2014). Observation studies have shown that teacher-directed activities are an appropriate literacy behaviour for preschool children (Wayne et al 2007) and this engagement can be applied as an effective procedure to boost literacy skills and deepen metalinguistic knowledge, by providing the opportunity to participate in literacy purposeful experiences.…”

There is considerable evidence on the connections between emergent literacy-related skills in preschool-age and successful reading and writing. The purpose of this double-designed experimental/descriptive study was to analyse the impact of invented spelling activities on kindergarten children's spelling performance and to explore adult mediation and peer collaboration processes that occurred within a sample of intervention sessions. Data was collected with 52 participants divided into an experimental group and a control group who were submitted to a pre/post-test assessment. The global quantitative analysis revealed the strong impact of the intervention on children's word spelling progress scores. The descriptive qualitative data of 2304 verbal interventions of a small-scale sample suggested that significant and diverse mediation scaffolding strategies were incorporated by the children in a shared dialogical learning approach. Our findings point to the need for delivering group interaction activities combining early literacy contents in kindergarten contexts as a vehicle for responding to the challenge of reading and writing acquisition at the beginning of schooling.
