Abstract	:	The Arabic language has been identified as a typical example of diglossia, meaning that two varieties of the same language exist and are used for socially different functions. The two varieties in the Arabic language are Literary Arabic (LA), and Spoken Arabic (SA). In the Arab World, children typically first encounter LA in literacy classes at school when they enter first grade and this is the variety they must acquire if they are to become literate. Before that, young children's oral exposure to LA is limited. The present study examines the possibility of promoting preliteracy capabilities, specifically vocabulary learning, within a diglossic context.
