The use of computer-assisted instruction to train phonological awareness skills in at-risk first graders was evaluated. Fifty four children ranging in age from six years two months to seven years eight months participated in an eight-week training study. The children exposed to the phonological awareness training programs made significantly greater improvements on several measures of phonological awareness and on a measure of word recognition, when compared to children in the other two groups.
