This paper examines the characteristics, occurrence and persistence of non-conventional separations (also called lexical segmentation) between words in child written sentences and texts at different school levels. We have also analyzed the relationships of these phenomena with the performance in reading and writing. From a non-experimental transeccional design, 90 Argentine children from year 1 to 6 of the basic primary school were assessed, with spontaneous and dictated writing of sentences and texts, especially designed for this work, and with standardized reading and writing tests. Contributions include the detailed classification of the types and subtypes of non-conventional separations which use, the notion of morphological formant. This enabled the characterization of all occurrences in the reviewed corpus, which exceed those usually described. Among the main results the identification of the prevalence of the type and subtype of such separations in different school levels, its persistence throughout primary school and moderate correlations with performance in reading and writing. Finally, this work to master that the learning of writing is a gradual process, for which it is necessary not only the skills of segmentation of speech into the sounds represented by the graphemes, but also, among others, the orthography, in which morphemic and historical and epistemological information were preserved in every particular writing system and the conventions of its use, as is the case of separations between words.
