Abstract
The level of metaphonological awareness present in a sample of Spanish preschool children at prereading level was analysed. 166 children were administered the Linguistic Segmentation Test (Prueba de Segmentación Lingüística, Form A). This test has different tasks for evaluating word consciousness and phonemic awareness skills, such as recognition of rhyme, deletion, counting, and isolation of minimal language units. Results are similar to those obtained in other studies carried out in different countries. Specifically, children did better in segmentation tasks than in rhyme recognition or isolation and deletion of syllables and phonemes. The results were also analysed in terms of subjects� sex and their reading readiness, using for the latter teachers� judgements.
