CONCIENCIA PROSÓDICA ACENTUAL Y COMPRENSIÓN LECTORA EN NIÑAS(OS) CON TDL EN ETAPA DE ALFABETIZACIÓN INICIAL

This research aims to determine if a relationship exists between prosodic awareness and reading comprehension during the initial literacy of children who have a developmental language disorder. The study also proposes to define the role that developmental language disorders play in this relationship. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational study was carried out with 76 second graders: 26 diagnosed with a developmental language disorder and 50 with normal language development. The children were given a reading comprehension test and two tests of prosodic awareness. The results show significant differences between the two groups in reading comprehension and prosodic stress awareness, and a significant correlation between prosodic stress awareness and reading comprehension. The prosodic stress awareness variable together with the variable of developmental language disorder predict performance in reading comprehension.
