| Summary: | This work deals with omissions on written productions of children who are in elementary school, at the 3rd and 4th school years. We adopted for this work the same methodological procedures of Chacon (2010) and Amaral et al. (2011). Altogether, 93 children participated in this experiment. They wrote 63 names (41 fruits and 22 animals) during a simulated bingo game. The target was the segmental at the syllable coda. Portuguese language has 6 kinds of syllable coda: a) rhotic /R/; b) lateral /l/; c) nasal /N/; d) soante /S/ and e) empty /∅/. The results show a great number of writing omissions (59%) in relation to canonic form. When we considered the omissions happened only at the coda position, this number raised for 87%, whose 57% are at the nasal coda. These results show that children from elementary school have a great difficulty to understand graphic rules.
