Researchers at Concordia's Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP) have developed ABRACADABRA, a free, interactive web-based literacy program for early elementary school-aged students, to help battle the alarmingly high percentage of low ability readers. Recent findings from a three-year study show that children who were exposed to ABRA made significant gains in letter-sound knowledge, phonological awareness and word reading compared to those who did not use the program.
ABRACADABRA is:
- Focused on building a foundation of literacy skills to ensure that all students can achieve success.
- Designed to provide modules for teachers and parents
- Built on a solid research base
- Implemented in school districts across Canada, Northern Australia and recently across the United States.
