HORTA, Inês de Vasconcelos. Da escrita grafo-perceptiva à escrita fonetizada: Factores e processos evolutivos na descoberta do princípio alfabético. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.4, pp.435-449. ISSN 0870-8231.

Invented spelling activities in kindergarten play an important role in promoting the understanding of the alphabetic principle (Adams, 1990; Alves Martins Silva, 2001, 2009; Treiman, 1998). The studies conducted show the positive effects of invented spelling programs considering only final results. Thus, this article presents an analysis of the sessions within an invented spelling program. The aim is to understand which aspects contribute to the understanding of the alphabetic principle. Children’s answers, their spellings and the experimenter’s interventions where taken into account. Knowledge of letter names, explicit letter to sound relations based on children’s spellings and using words whose first syllable corresponds to the letter’s name, are considered to be the aspects that promote the understanding of the alphabetic principle.

Palabras clave : Alphabetic principle; Invented spelling.
