摘要：Studies carried out in English orthography show that the ability to reflect upon the word’s morphemesis related to the success in recognizing words, reading comprehension and spelling. The majority ofthe studies carried out in Portuguese in this area focused in the development of flexional morphology.It is considered that the derivational morphology develops after some years of schooling. In this studywe investigated the development of the derivational morphology in Brazilian Portuguese language,with a sample of 51 children, of which 27 were from 1st grade and 24 from 2nd grade, all drawn from afederal school from the urban area of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Six morphological awareness taskswere used. The number of correct responses in each task computed. The results suggest that the abilityto reflect upon the morphemes is present at an early stage, even if in a rudimentary form and that itcontinues to develop with schooling.
