    Effects of early reading and writing intervention on Spanish school children
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) González Valenzuela, María José; Martín Ruiz, Isaías
    The aim of this paper is to analyse the reading and writing achievement of Spanish school children following an intervention conducted at an early age. The purpose of the intervention is to prioritise and systematise instruction in the alphabetic principles, phonological awareness, reading fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. The sample consists of 126 subjects, distributed between an instructed group(n=62) and an uninstructed group (n=64). All the subjects were from average socio-cultural areas, with normal intelligence and with no physical, mental, and/or sensory deficits. Subjects were evaluated from the second year of Early Years Education (4 years of age) up to the first year of Primary Education (six years of age). The design was longitudinal with repeated measurements (four assessments), three intervention phases, two study variables (reading achievement and writing achievement), and two groups of subjects. Descriptive statistical analysis and repeated measures analyses of variance were performed. The results obtained indicate higher scores in reading and writing throughout all the assessments and significantly greater progress in the instructed group. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of early intervention in written language through systematic instruction in phonological awareness, the alphabetic principles, reading fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension

    Psychometric adaptation of the Family-Centred Practice Scales (FCPS) in families of children with unspecified intellectual disabilities
    (Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad dde Murcia, 2026) Cuenca Sánchez, Lorena; Serra, Lidia; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sin departamento asociado
    Introduction. The present paper examines the perceptions of par ents with children with unspecified intellectual disabilities (UID) on how said children are cared for in their treatment centre, and highlights the im portance of tailored educational and therapeutic interventions. The study underlines the need for individualised strategies and the contribution of multidisciplinary collaboration to improve child development outcomes. The central aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Spanish adaptation of the Family-Centered Practice Scales (FCPS) among parents of children with UID in Spain. Methods. A to tal of 221 parents (112 women and 109 men) participated in this study. Descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, gender invariance analy sis, convergent and divergent analysis and reliability indices were per formed, and a longitudinal comparison of scores after six months. Data were gathered using custom Likert-type scales, followed by both explorato ry and confirmatory factor analyses. Results. Exploratory factor analysis in dicated that the FCPS effectively measures family-centered practices, re taining its original two-factor structure: relational practices and participa tive practices. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed high internal con sistency for the overall score. Measurement invariance analysis demon strated that the FCPS is consistent across gender and age within this popu lation. No significant score changes were observed after six months. Dis cussion. The findings support the FCPS as a reliable tool for evaluating fam ily-centered practices in Early Childhood Intervention for children with UID. This study highlights the significance of adopting family-centered approaches and emphasizes the need for further training and resources to support both professionals and families. The research contributes to the understanding of the factors affecting family adaptation and the role of in dividualized interventions in improving child development, regardless of the child's intellectual disability's cause. The document emphasizes the im portance of a constructive and supportive approach by professionals to empower families in coping with the challenges they face.
