Abstract

The following investigation entitled "the study of the phonological conscience as a prerequite to the literacy learning” was made in “San Juan de Jerusalen” primary school in Cuenca Ecuador. Its main goal was to investigate the phonological conscience influence in the literacy learning.

For that reason, I described the phonological conscience characteristics and the importance that it has in the literacy learning on the psycholinguistic approach which says that child a development level in the oral language, and before to start to read, they have to exercise the speech segments, syllabus and words.

It is a quantitative, qualitative and a descriptive study. It was made through a test about phonological conscience ( Jel- k ) of Rufina Pearson. It has five evaluative skills. Also, it applies a survey with structure basis questions for the teachers in the beginner´s level.

The results demonstrated that the 85 % of students participated in the sample are in lower level and the 15 % are in low level. The most difficult skill was the sounds representation in which students had a 0 % level. It demonstrated that children did not have developed this skill, and teachers demonstrated to have knowledge about the phonological conscience.
