Importance of prosodic awareness when learning how to read in primary school students ( Importancia de la conciencia prosódica en el aprendizaje de la lectura en estudiantes de educación primaria )
Studies in recent years have shown the importance of phonological skills when learning how to read and treating reading difficulties. More recently, research has shown the importance of suprasegmental skills in reading acquisition. However, in spite of this evidence, there is very little research in Spanish aimed at identifying these skills’ influence on the reading process. The objective of this study was to analyse the connection between suprasegmental phonological awareness and reading skills in a group of 323 students aged eight and nine. Measures of reading words and pseudo-words and syntactic and textual reading comprehension were collected along with suprasegmental skills. The results show that suprasegmental skills show significant linkage patterns with reading skills.
