Interactive Android Phonic Reading for Preschool Children

Abstract

The learning process at preschool level becomes more important in early education for
children. Suitable learning tools need to be used by teachers in order to enhance the learning
process. Due to that reason, this Android phonic reading application has been developed for
preschool children since the technology can attract and engage children’s attention. This
application is known as ‘Kenali ABC’ and focuses on the phonic reading approach. This
application has been tested using the usability test on the targeted users including preschool
children, preschool teachers and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) lecturers as the experts.
The results of the usability test indicate that the application has potential to be used as an
alternative method in reading using phonic technique.
