"Teaching Alphabet, Reding, and Writing for kids between 3-6 years old as a second language"

The present study focused on teaching alphabet, reading and writing for kids as a second language. Although teaching for kids has been taken into account with different methods, there has been little research about phonics method. Typically, teachers need to learn how to facilitate the process of teaching alphabet, reading and writing for young children. Thus, it is felt that the method of teaching may influence the degree of second and foreign language learning. The study is an endeavor to investigate the effectiveness of either one of the phonics vs. traditional approaches in teaching of alphabet, reading and writing for kids between 3-6 years old who were learning English as a second language. The analysis of the results following administration of a standardized test and the obtained scores showed a significant difference between the achievement. The results implied that the phonics method can be more effective in teaching English for kids.
