MUNETON AYALA, Mercedes Amparo. THE INFLUENCE OF SUBJECTIVE FAMILIARITY ON WORD READING AND WRITING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM MEDELLIN. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.169-186.  Epub Dec 07, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n80a11.

The objective of this study was to analyze the specific challenges that the spelling of Spanish, a transparent language, represents for children who begin learning literacy skills. Participants were 42 children attending 2nd and 4th grades of elementary level education. Firstly, the influence of subjective familiarity on both abilities was analyzed, and then its possible interaction with the psycholinguistic parameters of orthographic consistency, syllabic structure and length in reading and writing skills. Results showed an effect of familiarity that mediates the process of skill development, indicating that writing needs the consolidation of reading in order to advance.

Keywords : reading; writing; subjective familiarity; elementary level education; psycholinguistic parameters.
