Teaching of reading and writing: a view from phonological awareness and emergent writing

Abstract

This work seeks to collect information on the teaching of reading and writing considering the phonological awareness and emerging writing. When we teach reading and writing, it’s important to be clear about the teaching method, which should contemplate visual perceptual processes, phonological awareness, grapheme-phoneme conversion rules and orthographic, syntactic and semantic levels, as this will mark success or failure in the future, since reading is more than doing a decoding process. Phonological awareness is the key to acquiring an alphabetic code and  thanks to the transparency of the Spanish language and its phonological system, we can move from decoding to understanding more quickly. In addition, it will be very important to consider children’s writing levels to strengthen phonological awareness. Therefore, the emergent writing will accompany from the conscience of the written language to the decoding, where the phonological
awareness will configure a threshold of the formal learning.
