PINHEIRO, Ângela Maria V.; CUNHA, Carolina Rezende da  y  LUCIO, Patrícia Silva. Word reading aloud task: an error analyses proposal. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp.115-138. ISSN 0871-9187.

In this study we investigated the strategies used by Brazilian children in a wordlist reading aloud task. Concentrating on the nature of the type of error that produces real words, we distinguished those kinds of responses that suggest the use of lexical processing (or a dictionary-look up strategy) from those that suggest the use of phonological processing (or a rule based strategy). We concluded that the "real word responses" for Brazilian Portuguese, differently from English, seem to indicate the use of phonological processing in reading, due to the fact that in all grades studied only a small proportion of the responses showed a lexical influence, indicated by lexicalizations. Thus, based on the processing indicated by the response we suggest a classification of reading errors according to these two types: one which points to a lexical tendency and the other to a phonological tendency. The proposed error analysis could be used in the evaluation of developmental changes in reading processes.

Palabras clave : Isolated word reading; Visual and phonological reading strategies; Real word responses; Lexicalization.
