Programa de Estimulação Metafonológica, conhecimento do Alfabeto e Vocabulário (PEMAV) para pré-escolares: elaboração e estudo-piloto

Introduction: The importance of stimulating metaphonological skills, vocabulary with knowledge of the alphabet is described in international literature for subsequent success in learning to read and write, however there is a gap in studies in Brazil to stimulate these skills in early childhood education. Objectives: to develop a metaphonological stimulation program, alphabet knowledge and vocabulary (PEMAV) and its applicability in a pilot study with preschoolers. Methods: Forty schoolchildren aged between 5 years and 5 years and 11 months participated in this study, who were divided into GI (submitted to stimulation with PEMAV) and GII (not submitted to stimulation). Results: we observe positive changes, with mastery of cognitive-linguistic skills, knowledge of the alphabet and vocabulary in preschoolers in GI, when compared to GII. Discussion: The results of this pilot study confirm the importance of integrated stimulation of these skills. Conclusion: The developed program proved to be effective and applicable in the educational context.
