Consciência fonológica em escolares com e sem queixa de atraso na leitura

Abstract

The present study investigated the level of performance on tasks of phonological awareness (Rhyme, Alliteration and Targeting) in students with and without complaints of delays in reading. 40 children enrolled in the 3rd year of elementary school, in public and private schools in the city of João Pessoa / PB, participated in the survey. They were divided into two groups; one per school complaining of delay in reading and another with no complaints of delays in reading. The analysis results are significant, with values (p <0.005) for the performance on each phonological awareness task when compared between groups and significant values (p <0.005) in the level of phonological awareness as compared between groups. Given the results, one can see the relationship and the importance of phonological awareness in the reading acquisition process and in the formation of fluent readers. Additionally, the need for greater education of educational professionals regarding phonological awareness. And lastly, for increased contributions to the development of reading and new research using the THPL.
