Abstract

In this study, the effects of training with advanced toys on the reading writing skills of the first graders in elementary school were investigated. Pre test-education-post test were applied to the pre-determined study and control groups. The research was carried out with a sample of 122 6- year-old elemantary school students in Duzce (61 experimental group, 61 control group) . To the experimental group, a 12 week trainning with toys devised according to the lifelong learning principles based on the expert opinions was given. As data accumulation tools, “Writing Scale” and “Reading Scale” designed by Tutal and Oral (2015) aiming to reveal reading and writing skills (Erhan, 2012) in Ministry of Education Guide Book was applied to the students before and after the training. As a result of the study while a significant difference was defined in students’ reading skills, no significant difference was defined in their Writing Skills.
