	Abstract: development This study explores whether two computer-based literacy interventions- a ‘synthetic ’ phonics and an ‘analytic phonics ’ approach produce qualitatively distinct effects on the early phonological abilities 2 and reading skills of disadvantaged urban kindergarten (reception) children. Participants (N = 53) were assigned by random allocation to one of the two interventions. Each intervention was generally delivered 3 times per week for 13 weeks as part of a reading centre approach in kindergarten classrooms with small groups of children. In the synthetic program children showed, as predicted, significant (p <.05) improvement in CV- and-VC word blending and the articulation of final consonants. The children in the ‘analytic ’ phonics program showed, as predicted, significant (p <.05) improvements in articulating shared rimes in words. These results suggest that synthetic and analytic programs have qualitatively different effects on children’s phonological development. These phonological differences are not however immediately reflected in any qualitative differences in the way children undertook word reading or nonword decoding.
