DESARROLLO DE LA CONCIENCIA FONÉMICA: EVALUACIÓN DE UN PROGRAMA DE INTERVENCIÓN

There is a close relationship between the development of phonological consciousness and reading acquisition. Contributing to the development of meta-linguistic skills will enhance the acquisition of the alphabet principle. The problem issued in this paper is weather reflective tasks upon phonemes of current 5 year olds oral language will increase the level of phonemic consciousness. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a phonemic consciousness program and to follow-up of its impingement. Fifty-one children in their last year of Initial Educational participated in the study. A pre-post test design to assess meta-phonological and letter recognition was used. Three groups were formed and different interventions (phonemic consciousness and graphemes, phonemic consciousness without graphemes, both compared to a control group) were performed throughout the 8 week program. Once the program ended, the children that were trained in phonemic consciousness and graphemes performed better than the other two groups, especially in grapheme segmentation tasks.
