Um estudo sobre a aquisição da ortografia nas séries iniciais.

Abstract

This work describes and analyses data of learning spelling from texts written spontaneously by six children from two schools in Pelotas ( Bibiano de Almeida School, a public school, and Santa Margarida School, a private school). Forty-four written productions were analysed and they are in the list of the texts about learning writing of FaE- UCPeL. They were collected semi-longitudinally from the first school year to the fourth one. Besides referring to theories of learning and oral language and writing, the work has categories to analyses spelling mistakes by Lemle (1982), Moojen (1985), Carraher (1986), Cagliari (1992), Morais (1995), Zorzi (1998) e Tessari (2002). Two big categories werw proposed based on these authors’ proposals in order to analyse and understand the children’s mistakes. The results showed that the type of school variable is not important and the categories proposed are enough to cover both the mistakes which come from the relations between phonetic-phonogical knowledge and spelling system, and the mistakes related to the structure of the spelling.
