SUMMARY:

The acquisition of oral language occurs spontaneously; learning to read and write, on the other hand, is different. Children need clear and explicit instruction to fully understand and write texts (DEHAENE, 2020). Researchers, such as Berg (2003), Ehri (2005) and Chappell (2009), point out that it is necessary and essential that students have developed phonological and phonemic awareness before the formal instruction of reading takes place. Due to the debate over building a bridge between neuroscience and education, numerous attempts at technological innovation and evidence-based teaching have been made; their goal is to mitigate possible developmental gaps among the students. In order to investigate the relationship between phonemic awareness training and reading fluency, we developed an experimental study with 120 2nd grade children from two different schools - public and private - located in Natal-RN. The participants were 6 to 8 years old and were part of an 8-week intervention. The children were randomly assigned into 3 distinct groups: the intervention group used the educational game GraphoGame, a supporting tool that helps phonemic awareness development during emerging literacy; the active control group used games that do not directly impact the development of any reading competence; and the control group only attended regular classes at school. In all groups, tests were applied before and after the intervention in order to verify the effectiveness of using the educational game. Preliminary results show a positive impact of phonemic awareness training on the reading skills of children who participated in the intervention playing GraphoGame.
