The Impact of Small Group Instruction on Preschool Literacy Skills

Abstract

This study focused on 17 preschool students in a northern Jordan city. Preschoolers
were taught specific literacy skills in a small group instructional setting. The students’ skill level was assessed at the beginning and middle of the school year. The researcher’s goal was to determine if teaching literacy skills in a small group setting would improve the skill level of the preschool students. Results showed that using small groups was an effective way to increase preschool students’ literacy skill levels.
