Three groups of kindergarten children received 4 training trials and a word-recognition test with 15 words in a beginning-reading task. There was a prompting-and-fading group with pictorial prompts which were gradually faded. There was a prompting-only group who received the same pictorial prompts but no fading. There was a no-prompting group, also, who were exposed to the printed words but no pictorial prompts. The prompting-and-fading and the prompting-only groups maintained few errors during training, while the no-prompting group showed high initial errors which gradually declined. The prompting-and-fading and the no-prompting groups performed similarly on word recognition after training and scored significantly higher than the prompting-only group. Lack of advantage in word-recognition skills for the prompting-and-fading group over the no-prompting group was discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between word recognition ability, knowledge of orthographic structures, and use of orthographic knowledge in word recognition. Fifty-six first and second graders were administered a word recognition test, two tests of orthographic knowledge, and two search tasks. The results indicated that when searching for multiple word targets children with word recognition levels of less than 2–2 searched similarly through all fields, whereas children with word recognition levels of 2–2+ searched faster through pseudowords and nonwords than through words. When searching for members of a category, children with word recognition levels below 2–1 searched faster through nonwords and pseudowords than through words providing no evidence for the use of orthography in word search. Children with word recognition levels above 2–1 searched faster through nonwords than through pseudowords and words, demonstrating a generalized effect of orthographic structure.

Method Complete psychometric functions for phoneme and word recognition scores at 8 signal-to-noise ratios from −15 dB to 20 dB were generated for the first 10, 20, and 25, as well as all 50, three-word presentations of the Tri-Word or Computer Assisted Speech Recognition Assessment (CASRA) Test (Gelfand, 1998) based on the results of 12 normal-hearing young adult participants from the original study. Results The psychometric functions for both phoneme and word scores were very similar and essentially overlapping for all set sizes. Performance on the shortened tests accounted for 98.8% to 99.5% of the full (50-set) test variance with phoneme scoring, and 95.8% to 99.2% of the full test variance with word scoring. Shortening the tests accounted for little if any of the variance in the slopes of the functions. Conclusions The psychometric functions for abbreviated versions of the Tri-Word speech recognition test using 10, 20, and 25 presentation sets were described and are comparable to those of the original 50-presentation approach for both phoneme and word scoring in healthy, normal-hearing, young adult participants.

This study investigated the effect of teaching children orthographic analogies based on onset and rime units (words that rhyme). Forty-eight kindergarten children were selected for the study and classified as high, middle, or low segmenters based on their performance on the Test of Awareness of Language Segments (TALS) (Sawyer, 1987). Pretraining and posttraining measures consisted of segmentation ability, letter-sound knowledge, and reading words by analogy. Although the experimental group showed significant gains on each measure over no-training controls, analogy training affected children differently depending upon their prior segmentation level. Low segmenters gained most in segmentation ability with small, but significant, effects in letter-sound knowledge. Middle and high segmenters showed greatest improvement in their ability to perform the word reading by analogy task and in their letter-sound knowledge. This study provides support for a role for onset and rime units in beginning reading and may indicate how rhymes contribute to children's awareness of phonemes.

Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah kemampuan membaca permulaan anak pada kelompok B di Gugus VII Kecamatan Buleleng Kabupaten Buleleng tahun pelajaran 2018/2019. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan yang signifikan metode Struktural Analitik Sintetik (SAS) terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan pada anak kelompok B Taman Kanak-kanak Gugus IV Kecamatan Buleleng tahun pelajaran 2018/2019. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment). Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak kelompok B di Gugus IV Kecamatan Buleleng. Sampel dalam penelitian ini yaitu TK Cudhacrama Singaraja yang berjumlah 20 anak dan TK Santi Kumara Singaraja yang berjumlah 15 anak. Data kemampuan membaca permulaan anak dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan teknik observasi dan rubrik. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan statistik inferensial yaitu uji-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kemampuan membaca permulaan yang menggunakan metode Struktural Analitik Sintetik (SAS) dengan yang tidak menggunakan metode Struktural Analitik Sintetik (SAS) dengan thitung = 18,74 dan ttabel dengan dk = (n1 + n2 – 2) = 33 dengan taraf signifikansi 5% = 2,034 Dengan demikian thitung > ttabel = 18,74 > 2,034, maka H0 ditolak dan HA diterima. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan metode Struktural Analitik Sintetik (SAS) terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan pada anak. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari skor rata-rata anak yang menggunakan metode SAS yaitu 55,75 dan skor rata-rata anak yang tidak menggunakan metode SAS yaitu 31,18. Penerapan metode SAS dalam proses pembelajaran digunakan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaan pada anak dalam mengatasi kendala-kendala dalam proses pembelajaran di kelas.Kata Kunci : metode SAS, kemampuan, membaca permulaan, anak usia dini The problem in this study was the beginning reading ability of group B children in Cluster VII Buleleng District, Buleleng Regency in academic year 2018/2019. This study aimed at difference the significant effect of Synthetic Structural Analysis (SAS) method on the ability to read early in group B Kindergarten children, Cluster IV District of Buleleng in academic year 2018/2019. This type of research is a quasi-experiment. The population in this study were all of children from group B in Cluster IV District of Buleleng. The sample in this study were 20 students of TK Cudha Crama Singaraja and 15 students of TK Santi Kumara Singaraja. The technique used in collecting the data were observation and rubric. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, named the t-test. The results showed that there were differences in the initial reading ability using the Synthetic Analytical Structural (SAS) method with those who did not using the Synthetic Structural Analysis (SAS) method with t count = 18.74 and t table with dk = (n1 + n2 - 2) = 33 with significance level of 5% = 2.034 Thus tcount > t table = 18.74 > 2.034, then H0 is rejected and HA is accepted. So, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of the Synthetic Analytical Structural (SAS) method on the beginning reading ability of children group. This can be seen from the average score of children using the SAS method, which is 55.75 and the average score of children who do not use the SAS method is 31.18. The application of the SAS method in the learning process is used to improve the children beginning reading ability in faced any problem in learning process in the classroom.keyword : skill, early reading, SAS method, young children
