摘要：The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of age and schooling in performance in reading comprehension and morphological awareness, as well as the predictive power of morphological awareness in reading comprehension. Students (n = 403) from 2nd to 9th year of Elementary School (cycles 1 and 2) of a city in the state of Paraná participated of the study (54.3% female). As instruments, the Cloze Test (text "Unfortunate revenge") and Morphological Consciousness Assessment Tasks were administered. The results showed that both reading comprehension and morphological awareness have a developmental influence, and that morphological awareness can predict between 23% and 34% of reading comprehension.
