Abstract
The main aim of this research is to analyse the effects of a Voice Recognition System (VRS) used for improving phonological awareness and reading skills of preschool children. A quasi-experimental pre/post-test design with non-equivalent control group was used in third year of preschool education. The pupils (n=18) were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received seven training sessions on the use of VRS. The pre/post-test evaluation of phonological awareness and reading skills was carried out by LolEva, a test in a software format (Peralbo et al., 2015). Our results show a significant improvement in the experimental group in connection with phonemic and syllabic awareness. Improvements were also observed, although not statistically significant, in reading skills.
