Abstract
GUTIERREZ, Raúl. Facilitators of the learning process of writing in early ages. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.1, pp.32-39. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.33.1.229611.
The study of learning to write at an early age has been the subject of much research in recent years. We now know that in languages of alphabetic writing like ours, learning to write requires both alphabetical knowledge and the awareness of the phonological structure of speech, with the development of spoken language a necessary skill for learning written language. However, few studies have been conducted in order to understand the link between these skills and the initial learning to write. The purpose of this study was to examine whether programs that integrate the promotion of oral language along with the development of phonological processing skills and alphabetical knowledge favour effectiveness of the written learning process. A quasi-experimental comparison group design with pre-test and post-test measures was used. The study involved 403 students from different public and private schools aged between 5 and 6. The results weigh the potential value of the program and support the development of teaching models that provide access to alphabetic knowledge from new educational perspectives that facilitate the learning of the writing system.
