This article presents a procedure to teach how to read and write words and numerical units. Thus, after teaching how to read words and numerals separately, such classes of stimuli were presented together forming short sentences. Thirteen first grade children from public schools, who did not present the repertories of reading words and identifying numerals previously, took part of this study. Male end female children aged from six to seven years old formed the group. Reading and writing, as well as the activity of identifying numerals were taught through a conditional discrimination procedure, by means of excluding words and numerals that they already knew. The data show that, except for two participants (P1 e P2), all of the children learned how to read and write the taught words and how to identify the taught numerals. During some tests, they also established BC/CB equivalence relations. They read the corresponding words and numerals correctly, and identified the pictures before the corresponding printed words. During the tests they also read sentences with words and numerals. Data are here discussed, and show that reading and writing words are equivalent activities to identifying numerals, and that the teaching sequence of the independent units of words/numerals facilitated the sentences reading emergence.
Keywords: sentence reading; numerals identification; word-numeral equivalence.
