- Assessing oral reading fluency within and across grade levels: Development of equated test formsPublication . Rodrigues, Bruna; Cadime, Irene; Freitas, Tânia; Morgado Choupina, Celda; Baptista, Adriana; Viana, Fernanda Leopoldina; Ribeiro, IolandaDeficits in oral reading fluency (ORF) impair reading comprehension and tend to persevere throughout schooling. Therefore, the assessment and monitoring of the students’ performance in ORF across time should be routinely performed to guide the instruction and intervention. The goal of this work was to develop and validate a test of ORF for Portuguese students from grades 1 to 6 (TAF – Teste de Avaliação da Fluência) that includes specific test forms for each grade level with equated scores that allow comparison across multiple assessment points. In study 1 (N = 1166), the chained equipercentile equating method was performed to equate the test forms’ scores horizontally and vertically. The tests of differences performed using the equated scores indicated that they were similar within the same grade level but increased significantly across grade levels. In study 2 (N = 549), reliability and validity evidence for the test forms was collected. Test–retest correlations were higher than .90, suggesting a high stability of the scores. Significant correlations between the TAF scores and the ones obtained in other reading tests, teachers’ judgments, and school outcomes, were obtained, thus providing evidence of validity for the developed test forms. This instrument allows not only interindividual comparisons but also the assessment of intra-individual changes in ORF across time or as a result of intervention programs, while avoiding learning effects that arise when the same measure is administered multiple times.

- Poesia para a infância – dois caminhos atuais vindos de trás: visualidade e brevidadePublication . Cristina Vasconcelos de Macedo, AnaCom este artigo pretende-se refletir sobre a produtividade didático-pedagógica dos conceitos históricos de visualidade e de brevidade na literatura de potencial receção infantil e juvenil e sua importância formativa. Para o efeito, parte da análise da obra de três autores portugueses, pertencentes a gerações diferentes, que marcaram, de forma significativa, momentos da história recente da literatura portuguesa para a infância e a juventude em Portugal – Mário Castrim, Teresa Guedes e João Pedro Mésseder.

- I’m still learning. A web platform for the intervention in reading disabilitiesPublication . Baptista, Adriana; Ribeiro, I; Viana, Fernanda Leopoldina; Choupina, Celda; Brandão, S.; Azevedo, H.; Santos, S; Cadime, I; Cruz, JIn 2014, 20% of the 4th graders had an unsatisfactory evaluation in the national exam of Portuguese language. This percentage is similar in the 6th and 9th grades indicating that a large number of Portuguese students have reading difficulties. The e-learning platform “I’m still learning” was developed to provide a systematic intervention with students (from 1st to 4th grade) experiencing reading difficulties. This free access platform provides a set of didactic sequences to promote phonological awareness, word reading, reading fluency and comprehension. Informal tasks for reading assessment are also included. In this paper we describe the platform and the theoretical framework adopted in its construction.
- Parâmetros para análise de narrativas orais em crianças com e sem perturbação da linguagem expressivaPublication . Monteiro, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Baptista, AdrianaAnalysis of children’s productions of oral narratives is a highly effective research tool that allows examiners to document children’s productive vocabulary and grammar (using microstructural analyses) as well as children’s text level narrative organization skills (using macrostructural analyses). In this study we used the Narrative Scoring Scheme and the Speech Rate and Fluency in Children and Adolescents to analyse the productions of oral narratives of children with and without language disorders. The results showed language developmental effects. Children with language disorders have difficulties in the use of macro and microstructural features and lower speech fluency score.
- Género gramatical: a complexidade do conteúdo e a sua abordagem nos documentos reguladores do ensino do Português no 1º Ciclo EBPublication . Costa, José António; Choupinha, Celda Morgado; Baptista, Adriana; Oliveira, Inês; Querido, JoanaO género gramatical não é uma propriedade universal nas línguas do mundo, existindo apenas em algumas e manifestando-se de formas muito diversas (Corbett, 1991). No âmbito da aquisição da língua, vários estudos, em línguas de matriz indoeuropeia que apresentam a categoria de género como marca de concordância sintática, apontam para a sua aquisição por volta dos dois anos (Mills, 1986) e para o desaparecimento dos erros de concordância de género por volta dos quatro (Van Veen, 2007). No Português, o género é uma categoria nominal obrigatória para a concordância das palavras nos sintagmas e nas frases e que não se correlaciona absolutamente com o sexo, propriedade dos seres vivos, que os nomes podem designar (Baptista et al., 2013a). Sendo uma categoria assistemática e sincronicamente arbitrária, o género não é flexional (Villalva, 2003), o que se traduz pela quase ausência de contraste de género e pela marcação dos valores, masculino e feminino, por diversos processos morfossintáticos. Alguns nomes da língua recebem o valor de género no Léxico, sendo nomes de género único e não permitindo contraste de género; outros recebem-no na Sintaxe, podendo ou não admitir contraste e opção de valor de género (Choupina et al., 2014a). Estes pressupostos informam a abordagem da categoria género gramatical e a reflexão crítica que neste texto se realiza do modo como é preconizado o seu tratamento nos documentos reguladores do Ensino do Português no 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico.
