Students." We aim to analyze the use and effectiveness of an Incorporative Story Book Approach in
improving the understanding and use of sounds by Preparatory Students.

Specifically, we aim to validate the content in the research instrument for determining Phonological
Awareness, as it is essential for ensuring the quality of the data gathering. The instrument was based on the
Phonological Awareness Screening Test by Kilpatrick in 2024, which is used in research regarding
Phonological Awareness.

We believe that your input will be of great significance in evaluating the instrument's content, relevance, and
its alignment with the objectives of our research. Your professional guidance will undoubtedly elevate the
quality of our study. We kindly ask for your assistance and are open to accommodating your schedule for

various previous studies wherein specific literary elements, namely, rhyming, alliteration, onset-rime and
tongue twisters, have been proven effective at improving children’s understanding of sounds in words. Thus,
our Incorporative Story Book Approach aims to include and utilize these elements to significantly improve
children’s Phonological Awareness.

Primary High School Department Head

Dear Mr. Delos Santos,

We request your permission to conduct a pilot test for our research study, "Effectiveness of Incorporative
Story Book Approach in Improving Phonological Awareness of Preparatory Students." We aim to measure
the Phonological Awareness through a speaking test and assess the improvement on Phonological
Awareness using an Incorporative Story Book Approach of the students of one section. The Story Book
contains various literary elements designed to engage with students.

The purpose of this pilot test is to improve our research methodology and ensure its feasibility. We assure
you that all necessary precautions will be taken to minimize disruption to regular school activities and
maintain the privacy and well-being of the students. Your support and approval are essential to the success
of our research, and we eagerly await your response and guidance on proceeding with the pilot test.
