Children with reading difficulties should be identified early in their education, before they suffer from shortcomings and experience failures and feel discouraged at school. Considering the importance of early identification of language disorders and the shortage of standardized instruments for the Brazilian scenario, the overall objective of this study was to translate and adapt the Dyslexia Early Screening Test - Second Edition (DEST-2) to, subsequently, verify its applicability and efficacy in preschoolers who had Brazilian Portuguese as their native language. The study was composed of 20 children of both genders, regularly enrolled in a public school in the metropolitan region of S\u00e3o Paulo, none had any complaints related to learning and no indicators of sensory, neurological, cognitive, or behavioral disorders. It was observed that there was no need for significant changes to the original structure of the DEST-2 or in their administration instructions format. The performance of the children in the translated and in the national exams that were used as a benchmark was compatible, suggesting that the adjustments made met the equivalences needed to utilize this instrument with Brazilian children. A randomized study that will complement the preliminarily data obtained is in progress. Taking into consideration the linguistic and cultural diversity of Brazil, it is imperative that the translated version of the DEST-2 can be applied on a large scale and in several states of the country, in order to allow the use of this instrument as a language assessment tool in Brazil.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/2317-1782\/20152014191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,25]],"date-time":"2015-07-25T19:20:21Z","timestamp":1437852021000},"page":"301-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Brazilian Portuguese adaptation of Dyslexia Early Screening Test - Second edition: preliminary findings"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Tatiana Ribeiro Gomes da","family":"Matta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debora Maria","family":"Befi-Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","first-page":"6","article-title":"Natureza das dificuldades de leitura em crian\u00e7as brasileiras com dislexia do desenvolvimento","volume":"1","author":"Capovilla AGS","year":"2007","journal-title":"Rev Eletr\u00f4nica Acolhendo a Alfabetiza\u00e7\u00e3o nos Pa\u00edses de L\u00edngua Portuguesa Mocambras"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Tratado de fonoaudiologia","first-page":"275","volume-title":"Dist\u00farbio de Aprendizagem versus Dislexia.","author":"Capellini SA","year":"2010","edition":"2"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1177\/0022219408326219","article-title":"Floor effects associated with universal screening and their impact on the early identification of reading disabilities","volume":"42","author":"Catts HW","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Learn Disabil"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"810","DOI":"10.1590\/1982-0216201424912","article-title":"Dist\u00farbios de fala e dificuldades de aprendizagem no Ensino Fundamental","volume":"16","author":"Goulart BNG","year":"2014","journal-title":"Rev CEFAC"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1378","DOI":"10.1044\/1092-4388(2005\/096)","article-title":"Are specific language impairment and dyslexia distinct disorders?","volume":"48","author":"Catts HW","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Speech Lang Hear Res"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Vocabul\u00e1rio, consci\u00eancia fonol\u00f3gica e nomea\u00e7\u00e3o r\u00e1pida: contribui\u00e7\u00f5es para a ortografia e elabora\u00e7\u00e3o escrita [tese]","author":"Santos MTM","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Dist\u00farbios de leitura e escrita: teoria e pr\u00e1tica","author":"Santos MTM","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"The Dyslexia Early Screening Test Second Edition (DEST-2)","author":"Nicolson RI","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"ABFW - Testes de linguagem infantil nas \u00e1reas de Fonologia, Vocabul\u00e1rio, Flu\u00eancia e Pragm\u00e1tica","volume-title":"Fonologia","author":"Wertzner H","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"ABFW - Testes de linguagem infantil nas \u00e1reas de Fonologia, Vocabul\u00e1rio, Flu\u00eancia e Pragm\u00e1tica","volume-title":"Vocabul\u00e1rio","author":"Befi-Lopes DM","year":"2004"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1590\/S0104-56872008000300012","article-title":"Tradu\u00e7\u00e3o e adapta\u00e7\u00e3o transcultural de instrumentos estrangeiros para o Portugu\u00eas Brasileiro (PB)","volume":"20","author":"Giusti E","year":"2008","journal-title":"Pr\u00f3-Fono"},{"issue":"n.especial","key":"ref12","first-page":"59","article-title":"Adapta\u00e7\u00e3o de Instrumentos Neuropsicol\u00f3gicos Verbais: Um Fluxograma de Procedimentos para Al\u00e9m da Tradu\u00e7\u00e3o","volume":"15","author":"Fonseca RP","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int Psicologia"}],"container-title":["CoDAS"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.scielo.br\/pdf\/codas\/v27n3\/2317-1782-codas-27-03-00301.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,27]],"date-time":"2017-05-27T20:49:47Z","timestamp":1495918187000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.scielo.br\/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S2317-17822015000300301&lng=en&tlng=en"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,6]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,6]]}},"alternative-id":["S2317-17822015000300301"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1590\/2317-1782\/20152014191","relation":{},"ISSN":["2317-1782"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2317-1782","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,6]]}}}
