This article presents the main results of an analysis of important flaws in the Spanish translation of a number of children’s story books, known as Beginning Readers’ Books. It addresses errors which can affect the children’s process of acquiring reading and writing skills. These deficiencies can be attributed to the translators’ lack of familiarity with the initial reading patterns and their relation to a phonological awareness of Spanish. This study aims to provide initial guidelines for a translation of this sort. Se exponen los principales resultados de un estudio que analiza significativas deficiencias en la traducción al español de varios tomos de cuentos, bajo el título general de Beginning Readers’ Books. Se trata de errores que afectan el proceso de lectoescritura del lector meta. Tales deficiencias se atribuyen al desconocimiento de patrones básicos de lectura y su relación con la conciencia fonológica del español. El estudio tiene como objetivo ofrecer una guía inicial para mejorar este tipo de traducciones.

Abstract The study investigated the predictive role of executive functions, language, initial reading and writing abilities, teacher’s perception of the students’ difficulties and family characteristics, evaluated in Early Childhood Education (ECE) (Jardim I and Jardim II), in relation to reading and writing performance in the first year of Elementary Education. A total of 71 children were monitored in a longitudinal manner from ECE up to the first year, and evaluated in Oral Language (OL), Executive Functions (EF), initial Reading and Writing skills in ECE and, in the first year, evaluated by means of Reading and Writing tests. Parents provided information on socioeconomic status (SES) and teachers indicated children with difficulties. After the data imputation process, regression tree analysis showed that OL skills and initials skills of reading and writing in ECE explained a mean of 43% of the reading variability in the first year. For writing, the models also included performances in EF, income, father’s age and indication of difficulty by the teacher in ECE, explaining a mean of 78% of the variability in writing in the first year. The results allowed identifying abilities and variables that can be considered precursors of subsequent performances in Elementary Education, providing guidance for actions of early identification and intervention.

The paper presents a portion of the results obtained in the first phase of a longitudinal study of the development of children?s literacy. The aim of the research was to study the level of development of phonological skills in preschool children. The development of phonological skills, as part of metalinguistic skills, was studied by the assessment of voice analysis and synthesis in words and recognising rhyme. The sample included preschool children. The obtained results have pointed to an average development of children?s phonological skills in the domain of the ability of voice synthesis and analysis in words, as well as to the difficulties in solving items that contained more complex demands of manipulating phonemes within words. It was also determined that there were difficulties in recognising rhyme in words where phonological similarity was more prominent on the level of the whole word. Since there are very few research studies in our country that deal with the development of phonological skills in preschool children, which are an important predictor for the acquisition of reading and writing skills, the findings of this research can provide an insight into the development of this aspect of children?s speech and language, while in the long run they would enable us to observe the influence of this predictor on the success in initial reading and writing.
