Metalinguistic skills
Metalinguistic skills are understood as the ability to reflect on the language to get to analyze its components and structures, which is necessary to make the alphabetic system productive.
The development of these skills can be addressed during the acquisition of the oral level of the language or in parallel with the teaching of reading and writing.
They are concretized in three levels: lexical or word consciousness, syllabic and phonological.
Word awareness is fundamental to start the process of acquiring reading and writing. Thanks to it it is possible to concentrate on isolated words, regardless of what they represent, attend to their form by recognizing them visually and decoding them.
Syllabic consciousness is oriented to distinguish the voice strokes that can be observed in a word. They are the indispensable link to reach the isolation of the phonemes.
Phonological awareness consists in coming to grasp that the phoneme is the most basic element of the language. Achieving this awareness is the most important purpose of the development of metalinguistic skills.
The greatest limitation is that some consonantic phonemes are very difficult to isolate without vowel support, so in school practice it is necessary to establish the relationship with the corresponding grapheme.
Communicate Program 2020-21 – Oral language, the foundation of literacy.
The development of oral language has very important implications. In addition to being an instrument to communicate properly, to understand and relate to the environment that surrounds him, oral language becomes an essential element for the cognitive development of the child.
Achieving the proper development of oral expression skills is THE BEGINNING of the LITERACY PROCESS. The learning of written language is based on oral language, therefore, it is essential to work the oral foundations so that later the acquisition of written language takes place without difficulties.
