| Sumario: | To examine literacy learning in bilingual contexts, this study assessed phonological processing
skills in a sample of bilingual students, both with and without dyslexia. It also aimed to determine whether
the stage of literacy acquisition affects phonological skills in bilingual children with and without dyslexia.
The participants were 113 Catalan/Spanish bilinguals, aged 8 to 14 years, attending middle and upper
primary school, as well as early secondary school. This transversal study assessed accuracy in the following
phonological processing skills: phonological awareness (using phonemic awareness tests), phonological
decoding (through a pseudo-word reading task), and phonological memory (using a pseudo-word repetition
task). Overall, the results showed differences between students with and without dyslexia across all tasks,
but no differences were found between the two languages studied. Results by educational stage revealed
that differences in the phonemic awareness task diminished with age, while differences in pseudo-word
reading persisted. Additionally, differences were observed among middle and secondary school participants
without dyslexia, with better accuracy in the phonemic awareness task in Spanish. The results are discussed
in relation to previous studies and the transparency and opacity of the languages involved |
