The objective of the research is to examine the influence of Business Intelligence (BI) on Strategic Intelligence (SI). The research population consists of all employees at Commercial banks in Egypt.

5) Rethinking Alphabet Instruction in Preschool Classrooms
Author Details: Jerry Aldridge, Ed.D., Jennifer Kilgo, Ed.D.-University of Alabama at Birmingham
Abstract:
During the first half of the 20th century, teaching the alphabet and letter sounds was not considered a priority for children in nursery schools, kindergarten, and even some first grade classes (Johnson, 1996; Pratt, 1948; Pratt & Stanton, 1926; Wolfe, 2000). Then, on October 4, 1957, the Russian government launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial earth satellite that orbited the earth until December 25, 1957. The United States government believed that the country was falling behind in science and technology and a push for more rigorous standards in all education subjects began. This included a downward push of academic standards that eventually made their way to kindergarten and preschool. Before that time, the nursery school curriculum was more concerned with social emotional development and learning through play. By the late 20th century, most parents and preschool programs expected children to learn at least some letters by the time they entered kindergarten (Teale, 1995). In 2021, most states have standards or benchmarks for children learning the alphabet and “The Head Start Outcomes Framework—‘Identifies at least 10 letters of the alphabet, especially those in their name’” (McKay & Teale, 2015, p. 19) before children enter kindergarten.
The purpose of this article is to describe the current trend for teaching the alphabet, report evidence based approaches for teaching the alphabet and letter sounds, explain other important research findings related to teaching the alphabet, discuss teaching the alphabet and letter sounds using children’s names, describe teaching the alphabet and letter sounds with environmental print, and to show other ways to continually support children’s alphabet/letter learning throughout the year.
