Resumen
This research provides an insight into the development of phonemic awareness PA- in young children. Different research studies have been done on PA in countries, like China and USA. One finding from these research studies is that it is important to do an early intervention with strategies that foster PA in young children, in order to improve the oral production of the L2 learners and prepare them to be successful readers. For this study, a Pre-School course in a private school was selected. The focus was to analyze whether there were or not specific activities in regards to phonemic awareness within the course. To do so, the lesson plan of Pre-Kinder was analyzed to describe the activities and strategies used to establish their relation to PA itself.
