PALINHA, Katia de Matos  and  MOTA, Márcia Maria Peruzzi Elia da. The Role of Home Literacy and Early Childhood Education in the Development of Literacy Precursors. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.3, pp. 704-717. ISSN 1808-4281.

In this study the role of Home Literacy Environment and Childhood Education in the development of literacy precursors was investigated: Phonological Awareness and knowledge of letters. 53 students of the 1st Year of municipal schools of low socioeconomic level and their caregivers took part in he research, there were analyzed: 1) the relation between Home Literacy Environment and the precursors through Pearson correlations; 2) the contribution of Childhood Education to the development of literacy precursors. The results of mean's comparisons with t-test shows significant differences between groups with little experience and with experience in Pre-school Child Education for Phonological Awareness and letter knowledge. Pearson correlations were not significant. The data analysis suggests that environment of these children may be insufficient for the development of these predictors, and therefore attending Early Childhood Education influences literacy.

Keywords : home literacy; literacy; childhood education.
