Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of teaching ear1y reading
skills in the Malay Language for preschoolers. The two methods are the Structured
Vowel Control Method (SVCM)J and Phonic Combination Method (PCM). Both
methods were compared with the Conventional Alphabet-Spelling Method. The
study uses quantitative research design through a quasi-experimental method. The
subjects under the SVCM and PCM treatment were described as the experimental
group, whilst the subjects under the Conventional Alphabet-Spelling Method were
used as control. The experimental groups consists of 125 preschoolers (SVCM =
62, PCM = 63) and the control group consist of 38 preschoolers. In addition,
gender was chosen as ·the moderating variable to identify the effect of gender on
different methods. The experiment was conducted for the duration of twelve weeks.
A pre-test and post-test were administered to the subjects. The instruments used in
this study were the Reading Readiness Test and the Early Reading Skills Test.
The gain score of the tests were analyzed using the analysis of multivariate of
covariance (MANCOVA). The achievement of Reading Readiness Test was used
as a covariate. The Pearson Correlation analysis was used to identify the
correlation between open syllable and close syllable reading skill achievement.as
well as correlation between reading readiness and early reading skills
achievement. The significance level of 0.05 was useg for accepting or rejecting the
hypotheses. In addition, a structured interview format was adopted for the purpose
of clarifying the quantitative ?ata. The findings of the study showed a significant
difference in early reading skills achievement on the methods used. However, the
achievement of the preschoolers in the control. group was better than those in the
experimental group. There was no significant difference between genders on
reading achievement test score methods used. The correlation between open
syllable and close syllable reading skills achievement were, however, found to be
significant. There was a significant' correlation between reading readiness and
reading skills achievement on SVCM and PCM. However, there was no significant
correlation between reading readiness and reading skills achievement on
Conventional Alphabet-Spelling Method. To conclude, the findings showed that the
Conventional Alphabet-Spelling Method was more appropriate for the preschoolers
in this study on teaching early reading skills compared to the SVCM and the PCM.
However, the value of the effect size was small.
