Abstract
- This paper reports a case of implementing the free web-based interactive literacy software, ABRACADBRA, in early childhood education classes of Mombasa County, Kenya. A comprehensive model of training and support was offered to classroom teachers to help them integrate the software in preschool English Language instruction for three terms in 2019. The recorded changes in teaching suggest improvements in young students' foundational reading ability and computer skills among others. A combination of teacher resilience and school leadership drove successful implementation of ABRACADBRA. Avenues for future research include studying the effects of the software on a range of preschoolers' learning outcomes and examining the training and support model for optimal, sustainable, and scalable effects on instruction.
