CRUZ, Joana Sara et al. Contribuição da literacia emergente para o desempenho em leitura no final do 1.º CEB. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.3, pp.245-257. ISSN 0870-8231.  https://doi.org/1014417/ap.749.

The process of learning how to read and write is a challenge not only for the children but also for the educational agents that monitor this process. Identifying and promoting the conditions that lead to success in this field are the school and scientific community central concerns. In the present study, the goal was to verify the extent to which emerging literacy skills, assessed in kindergarten, predict performance in reading and writing at the end of elementary school. 117 students attending the 4^th grade participated in this study and had been previously assessed in kindergarten. Multiple regression analyzes were performed, showing that the emergent literacy skills in kindergarten accounted for 20% of the variance in reading and writing at the end of elementary school. These results suggest a reflection towards the importance of children’s early identification of risk of failure and early intervention in the first school years.
