NOBILE, Gislaine Gasparin  e  BARRERA, Sylvia Domingos. Analysis of spelling errors in students of public junior and senior high school with difficulties in writing. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.2, pp. 36-55. ISSN 1677-1168.

The objective of this research was to make an analysis of spelling errors of a sample of students with learning difficulties. Eighteen students from the 3rd to the 7th grades of junior and senior high school, making part of groups of school reinforcement, participated in the study. Data were collected through the individual application of a word writing test and another of text production. It was observed that the spelling errors did not differ, in their nature, from those found in studies with children without learning difficulties, but they showed high frequency, even among senior high-school students. The most frequent errors were those of speech transcription, followed by errors based on phonological analysis, such as change of letters, nasalization marking and complex syllables. The paper also discusses the role of phonological and morpho-syntactic awareness in the planning of educational activities aiming to facilitate the spelling system acquisition.

Palavras-chave : spelling errors; learning problems; phonological awareness; morpho-syntactic awareness.
