Concurrent instruction, where multiple words are taught together, proved more effective and efficient for preschool children learning to read than isolation-intermix methods. This approach reduced learning time and errors, suggesting a better instructional strategy for early literacy.

Area of Science:

  • Early Childhood Education
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Literacy Instruction

Background:

  • Effective early literacy instruction is crucial for academic success.
  • Understanding optimal teaching strategies for word recognition in preschool is essential.
  • Comparing different instructional arrangements can reveal more efficient methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness and efficiency of concurrent and isolation-intermix instruction.
  • To investigate these methods in teaching preschool children to read environmental words.
  • To analyze outcomes based on sessions to criterion, errors to criterion, and instructional time.

Main Methods:

  • Four preschool children participated in the study.
  • Two instructional conditions were employed: concurrent and isolation-intermix.

  • Constant time delay and progressive time delay were used across conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Concurrent instruction led to faster acquisition of conditional discriminations.
    • Students in the concurrent condition required fewer trials and less instructional time.
    • Concurrent instruction demonstrated greater efficiency in teaching word reading.

    Conclusions:

    • Concurrent instruction is a more effective and efficient method for teaching early word reading.
    • Teachers should prioritize teaching conditional discriminations from the outset.
    • Structuring instruction to include concurrent presentation of words is recommended for preschool literacy.
