ABSTRACT
This was a univariate study which examined the influence of pre-primary
education experience on literacy skills development among 473 primary grades
1-3 pupils. The first research question investigated the difference in literacy
skill development with pre-primary school attendance. A two-way ANOVA
revealed that the main effect for pre-school attendance, on literacy skill
achievement was not significant F (1, 473) = .32, p = .57,. The second research
question investigated the effect of sex and grade difference in literacy skills
performance across grades of study. It was found that female pupils performed
better (M=42.64; SD=21.71) than male pupils (M=36.46; SD=22.92) in the
literacy skills test with a small practical significant difference. The
performances also increased as they moved to higher grades, namely grades two
and three.
The third research question investigated the difference in literacy skills
performance with the type of pre-primary school attended. The effect for the
type of pre-primary school attended, F (2, 473) = 8.51, p = .000, reached
statistical significance indicating that the type of pre-primary school one
attended had an influence on the development of literacy skills. Finally
regarding teachers‟ qualifications and ability to foster literacy skills in early
childhood , it was found 80% of the teachers were Grade IIIA and were not
trained in early childhood education. The impact of these findings on early literacy
development are discussed.
