This article tries to analyse the relationship between the development of phonological competence and the evolution of children´s conceptions about written language, in pré-syllabic children through two empirical studies. In the first one we used a training programme with the purpose of producing changes in the way children represent written language. The trainning was efficient since all the children progressed to a level that represents written language related to the syllabic hypothesis. Also the children that were submitted to this programme made progress in their phonological skills, most of all in their abilities to manipulate syllabic units. The second research is centered in a phonological training programme focused in the syllabic units. Through this training programme the children made significant progress in their phonological skills, but this programme had also implications in the way children represent written language, since their written productions became regulated by the syllabic hypothesis.

Palabras clave : Phonological Awareness; Conceptions about written language; Reading acquisition.
