“Powdered egg shells” as a versatile instructional AID in teaching kindergarten pupils on letter cognition: A multisensory approach to teaching

Most children arrive in kindergarten filled with curiosity, wonder, and an enthusiasm to learn about themselves, others, and the world. Each year, the researcher/adviser saw how pupils, who have difficulty learning their letters, also struggle with learning the letter's sound, blending sounds, and then reading words. The teacher/researcher also knows how these kids struggle with letter recognition which directly impacts their reading and writing skills. This action research determined the effectiveness of the proposed instructional intervention using Multisensory approach in teaching letter cognition among the Kindergarten pupils. It is found that the said approach with the improvised instructional material is more effective as compared to the traditional approach on visual and auditory activities. It is therefore recommended to continue the use of the proposed instructional intervention.
