Importancia de las habilidades de análisis fonológico en el aprendizaje de la escritura

Résumé

The aim of this research was to determine the effects of the teaching of phonological analysis abilities on reading and writing acquisition. For teaching these abilities in preliterate children several programs were created. These programs consisted of different metalinguistic games: rhyme, phoneme identity, and phoneme deleting. The results showed that phonological abilities can be developed among preschool children before reading and writing acquisition, explicit teaching being required for this development. It was also demonstrated that teaching of phonological abilities can have a facilitating effect on subsequent reading and writing acquisition, observing major effects if tasks requiring phoneme manipulation were used. Moreover, the development of phonological abilities can have an influence on the kind of initial strategy that children use to read and to write words; such strategies could be �phonological� in both cases.
