AMARAL, Joana et al. Math skills and emergent literacy: Correlational study. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.1, pp.85-105. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.7475.

It has been well documented the importance of the implementation of preschool interventions that facilitate the development of oral language, phonological awareness, written language and math skills, as well as the need of an early identification of children at educational risk. The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between children's competence in oral language, phonological awareness, written language and mathematic competencies in preschool years. A total of 99 children participated in this study. Correlational analysis was used to understand the relation between the variables in the study. The results suggest that oral language, phonological awareness, written language and mathematic competencies are correlated. No statistical differences were found among boys and girls. These findings suggest that the growth in these skills may be related to contextual influences. These findings highlighted the implications to psychological evaluation and for pedagogic practice.
