This study uses a design and development research (DDR) involving two phases. In the first phase, the design and development phase, the framework is formulated by obtaining experts’ consensus using Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) involving 14 experts in early childhood education and mobile learning. A mobile educational application for early reading among kindergarten children, Adik Jom Baca, is developed according to the framework using prototyping method. In the second phase, the implementation and evaluation phase, Adik Jom Baca is evaluated in terms of usability and impact. Usability testing is carried out using the Modified Nominal Group Technique (NGT) involving 30 experts working as a kindergarten teacher. The impact assessment is carried out using Non-Equivalent Control Group Design involving 10 kindergarten children. The main finding of this study is the framework of mobile educational application for early reading among kindergarten children. A mobile educational for early reading that meets the child's development, Adik Jom Baca is developed according to the framework. Usability testing has shown that, Adik Jom Baca is useful in nurturing early reading skills among kindergarten children. Furthermore, the impact assessment showed that, Adik Jom Baca was able to provide a positive impact in nurturing early reading skills among kindergarten children. Overall, this study contributes a novel knowledge that are valuable to the research community, as a benchmark for educators and parents as well as being a reference to mobile educational application industry. 2017 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=4177 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=4177 text eng N/A openAccess Doctoral Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Seni, Komputeran dan Industri Kreatif N/A
