Why is it important?

This work is important because Latinos are one of the highest growing populations in the United States. They also have the highest rate of high school drop out rate in the nation. This drop out is associated with poor reading skills. Phonological awareness is an important building block to reading. Understanding the best phonological awareness interventions for Latino children can help promote their academic success.
