This research is designed to evaluate how effectively Culturally Relevant Pedagogy improves phonological and phonemic awareness skills for Indigenous students.

It aims to explore the effects of CRP-based reading intervention on students’
reading proficiency, as well as their involvement, enthusiasm, and overall
success in reading. The study will involve providing CRP-informed interventions, using CRP-compatible learning resources for a set period, and measuring their influence of students’ PA skills. 

The McDowell Foundation would like to extend its gratitude to the Leonard Foundation for its generous support and the funds for this project.
