Estudios recientes sugieren que la profundidad del vocabulario es más importante que la amplitud en determinar la capacidad para comprender textos. La relación entre amplitud del vocabulario, profundidad del vocabulario y comprensión del discurso no ha sido estudiada en la edad pre-escolar. Este informe reporta el resultado de dos estudios donde se examina esta relación en pre-escolares de distintas edades. Los resultados muestran que, en ambos grupos, la profundidad del vocabulario contribuye en forma significativa a la comprensión, incluso después de controlar el efecto de la amplitud. Esto refuerza la importancia de enseñar vocabulario en profundidad para el logro de una futura compresión lectora de Calidad.
