| description | Because of a lack of research examining early learning skills involved in writing and, above all, the lack of tests evaluating it, the main objective of this work is the validation in the spanish context of SHELL’s subscales related to emergent writing skills. Participants were 119 students from the provinces of Castellón and Valencia, who have been evaluated when 4 years old. The administered instrument was a spanish version of the subtests related to early writing of SHELL scale in which the child has to choose between some letters, the one he needs to write some words (his/her name, “sea”, “sun”, “whistle” and “sun”). Results of the exploratory factor analysis allow to identify two factors which differ in frequency of occurrence and complexity of words and letters that compose them. So, in the "high exposure" factor saturate more frequent and simple words and in the "low exposure" factor we can find less common words and letters whose learning is delayed because of their complexity component. Furthermore, analysis of the reliability of the test has highlighted a general Cronbach Alpha test of .72 (with oscillations between .56 and .97 in the different items). Therefore, we conclude not only that the scale has a good internal consistency, but also that it is possible to consider the spanish adaptation developed, as a reliable and robust assessment of the writing emergent skills. |
