Description

Following Girolami-Bouliniers classification of spelling errors, and using the two types of cartoons which normally serve as support to the oral and written language studies undertaken by this author, as well as by myself, I analysed the written narratives of 180 Portuguese children (60 in each age group) attending the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of Primary school in Porto, in order to see the evolution of the quality of their writing. With this study 1 intend not only to show the effect of age on the types of spelling errors and on punctuation; I also intend to consider how far writing at these levels may be the product of a teaching/learning process where oral language is not sufficiently practised and where the reading methods which are implemented are eventually not the most adequate. It is then my aim to discuss the children's written performances having in mind Girolami-Bouliniers language and reading methods.
