Abstract

This research was conducted with 4 to 6 year-old children from Nuestra Familia School in Cuenca as part of a study to validate a procedure-stimulation model of the brain centers of speech and language for accelerated teaching of literacy. It was originally a prospective analytical study, quasi-experimental design with double sample. This current study is a follow-up one that attempts to measure impacts, in which qualitative and quantitative techniques were used; correlate family circumstances, stimulation, and communication in the context of learning. The intervention group, n=39 children originally, and n= 45 children the following year were investigated. Different tests were applied to determine the content of the variables listed and that relate to learning. The cluster type sample included 84 children in the intervention group, of which children at high risk and risk for reading failure were selected. It was corroborated that it is really very important that parents participate in the development of children from an early age.
