This Study examines the effect of reading fluency of phomological awareness training program using fairy tales for poor readers.
Thus, the aim is to offer useful information to deciding on intensity and method of intervention. It was carried out targeting students of attending the 2nd grade of elementary school as students in the period of belonging to stage 1 of the reading development. Poor readers were primarily selected the students whose academic achievement is low in the Korean studies.
The findings are as follows.
First, there was significant effect in reading fluency(syllable number) of poor readers. However, the low-achieving readers showed negative correlation with the whole word number and the lexical diversity, thereby being able to be known that the higher in the whold word score leads to the lower lexical diversity.
To test the effect of this experiment, pre and post test of 300 syllables were conducted. Finally, Error analysis was conducted, to gain an insight into the error patterns and the performance change go differing categories. According to the error analysis, among the types of errors made, classified by the classification of oral reading, the occurrence error types in omission, insertion, substitution decreased by more than 15%.
In conclusion, the data generated by the present study indicated that phonological awareness training program using fairy tales is an alternative teaching method to improve the performance on word reading qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
