Resumen:
Development of phonological processing abilities, reading and spelling was studied in two groups of kindergarten children from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Low-income group teachers were trained to promote phonological sensitivity, reading and spelling. Children were administered tests of reading, spelling, letter knowledge, phoneme identity, pseudoword repetition and RAN. At pre-test, middle–income children performed better on all tasks. A year later middle-income children were better at pseudoword repetition and RAN but low-income children scored higher in all other tests. Results suggest that in a transparent orthography systematic intervention can promote reading even if children lag behind in basic phonological processing abilities.
