Invented spelling in kindergarten: Comparing two interventions programs

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two training programs on invented spelling on the quality of written and reading productions. Participated 100 children who could not read or write, distributed by four experimental groups and one of control. Groups 1 and 2 had followed the methodology of Alves Martins, Albuquerque, Salvador e Silva (2013) and groups 3 and 4 the methodology of Ouellette, Senechal and Haley (2013). In groups 1 and 3 we used facilitator words whose initial syllable coincides with the name of the letter and in groups 2 and 4 facilitator words whose initial syllable coincides with the sound. Groups 1 and 2 had higher results than groups 3, 4 and control.
