Programa de leitura e sua aplicação ao atraso no desenvolvimento

Abstract

This study is a systematic replication of the reading program proposed by Iñesta (1980), extended by the researcher, based on the methods of learning errorless and stimulus control using the techniques of disappearance and equalization of the model in order to verify the effect in increasing the reading repertoire in children presenting developmental delay. The study included four children from seven to nine years old, students in the first stage of basic education of a public school in the country of Goiás. All participants were referred by the school with complaints of delay in reading development, not getting reports that would justify it. To implement the program paper sheets with words or phrases and record protocol were used. The reading program was applied in three stages and four parallel lines were established in order to compare the results. The data were analyzed and it was found that the four children learned to discriminate the textual stimuli presented. Thirty days after the application of the program follow-up sessions were carried out, which confirmed that the increase of the participants reading repertoire in relation to the repertoire obtained at baseline 1. It was confirmed that the hypothesis that children with delayed reading development may have a broader repertoire, since it is possible to maintain control of the stimuli through errorless education programs.
