Contributions of phonological awareness and rapid serial naming for initial learning of writing

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the contribution of phonological awareness and rapid serial naming for the initial learning of writing. Methods: the study involved 100 children of both sexe, aged from two to six years and eleven months , enrolled in early childhood education from a nursery and a school hall in the in the city of Recife. Was used as assessment tools Test of Phonological Awareness, a task of Rapid Serial Naming and script writing evaluation. Data were transcribed and analyzed according to descriptive and inferential statistic. Results: it was observed that increasing age is directly related to the development of phonological awareness levels and reduction of errors and the time for performance of the tasks of rapid serial naming. Among the phonological awareness, syllable awareness scores obtained better rates, can be observed in great difficulty participating in the tasks of phonemic awareness. It was possible to identify significant correlations between phonological awareness, rapid serial naming and writing. Conclusion: the rapid serial naming contribute to early learning of reading and writing, with the encouragement of these important skills before literacy cycle, favoring this process and signaling potential learning problems early. The poor performance on tasks can be suggestive of the influence of socioeducational factors, one should consider the context of the child's life and the lived educational experiences in the family and school.

摘要
目的：探讨语音意识（Phonological Awareness）与快速序列命名（Rapid Serial Naming）对书写初始学习的贡献价值。
方法：本研究招募了累西腓市两所幼儿园及学校活动室招收的100名男女儿童，年龄介于2岁至6岁11个月，均处于早期幼儿教育阶段。本研究采用的评估工具包括语音意识测试、快速序列命名任务与书写能力测评。对采集的数据完成转录后，采用描述性与推断性统计方法开展分析。
结果：研究发现，年龄增长与语音意识水平提升呈直接正相关，同时可降低快速序列命名任务的完成错误率与任务耗时。在各类语音意识能力维度中，音节意识的得分表现最优，而语音觉知（Phonemic Awareness）任务的完成难度相对更高。此外，本研究证实语音意识、快速序列命名与书写能力之间存在显著相关性。
结论：快速序列命名能力有助于早期读写学习；在正式识字周期前加强此类核心技能的培养，可有效推动读写学习进程，并可早期识别潜在的学习障碍。任务表现不佳可能受社会教育因素影响，因此需结合儿童的生活环境，以及家庭与学校中的教育经历进行综合考量。
