This study was conducted in order to apply the present innovation and technology like the Radio Frequency identification in the educational development of the preschoolers. By using this device, a child can study on his own be able to learn the alphabet, numbers and shapes in a classroom. It is a new and interesting learning experience for a child using an attractive device. By using this device, a child can study on his own be able to learn the alphabet, numbers and shapes in a classroom. It is a new and interesting learning experience for a child using an attractive device. By simply placing the chosen block labelled with numbers, shapes and alphabet near to the reader, the device automatically sounds off the name of the letter, number or immediately. Applied Research was employed in the study. The following materials were used in the study; PIC 16f877, Voice Kit, RFID Tag, RFID Reader, Power, Supply, Speaker and other basic electronics materials. Based on the result of the study, it showed that the RF Technology, hi tech as it sounds, may be used in a simple device that even a preschooler can benefit. The RF Educational Block Reader for the Pre-Schooler is a simple device that even a child can operate. It is an effective tool to teach the students with enjoying the process of learning at the same time. On the basis of the findings, the following conclusions are drawn: The RF Educational Block Reader is effective for the learning development of the children especially the preschoolers who are really fond of playing. It is one of the productive applications of RFID whose emphasis is on education development and enhancement. In the light of the foregoing conclusion, it is recommended that at first, the program should be changed or revised in order to input additional blocks is not that audible.
