Students' performance in letter identification and lexical process tests

Conclusion: the students from private school showed superior performance, except for the tests in whi ch the phonological route was not entirely required. However, in the beginning of literacy, the phonological route was more used than the lexical route, regardless of the type of school. This study shows the education system necessity for prioritizing in early literacy the letter-sound relationship, so the students from public institutions can present better decoding results, which can directly impact reading and comprehension.
