Identifier	Thesis 1711
Author	Stellon, Catherine
Title	The effects of first grade phonics instruction : the O'Brien marking system / Catherine Stellon
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2003
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of first grade phonics instruction using "The O'Brien Marking System." This marking method was developed to make students more aware of the sounds that letters make, and thereby sound out words more accurately and fluently. Two first grade classes participated in the study. Both were daily taught the basic rules for phonics and completed assignments in their phonics workbooks. Class B was also instructed in how to utilize "The O'Brien Marking System" in addition to completing the workbook pages. Class A only relied on the information presented within the phonics workbook, and did not receive instruction on the marking method. The basic elements of phonics were taught daily to both classes. At the end of each workbook unit all students were tested on the material covered. At the end of the study both groups were assessed by reading nonsense words that contained short and long vowels, blends, digraphs and other "special combinations" that go together. Class B did slightly better on most unit tests when compared to Class A. Class B scored significantly higher than Class A on the nonsense word evaluation. Because "The O'Brien Marking System" has aided the students in Class B to better grasp phonic knowledge and apply it, teachers should be motivated to utilize this creative marking method with their classes. The results of the study have indicated that adding this marking system to an existing phonics program can only aid in the process of teaching children how to decode more accurately, hence become better readers.
