The study sought to determine the effectiveness of using multimedia instructional materials in teaching phonemic awareness to preschool children. Phonemic awareness is a crucial skill to learn for emergent readers as it is the skill to determine the individual sounds (phonemes) in each word. This study used quasi-experimental research method. With the use of purposive sampling, the study made use of all sixty-five (65) Nursery Two pupils from Second Home Academy, Inc. in Baliwag, Bulacan. Two sections of Nursery Two were selected as control group, where traditional methods of teaching were used; and the other two were selected to be the experimental group, where multimedia instructional materials were used in teaching phonemic awareness skills. Pretest and posttest were conducted to both groups before and after the study. The results of the pretest and posttest were computed, analyzed and compared. Paired sample t-test and independent samples (unpaired) t-test were used to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that both the control and experimental groups increased their level of phonemic awareness based on the pretest and posttest results. However, there was no significant difference on the levels of phonemic awareness of the pupils who were taught using multimedia instructional materials and those who were taught with the traditional methods of teaching.
