Abstract: When applying neuroscience evidence to research I have been carrying out since 2017 on the reading and writing of 6 and 7 year old children from the Northeast, benefiting from the Scliar Early Literacy System, I found that, in addition to the perceptual difficulties arising from vision neurons not having been genetically programmed to recognize the distinctions between the letters invariant features and between direction to the left and right, such as, for example, between b/d and other difficulties such as breaking down the syllable to develop phonemic awareness and how to convert words separated by blank spaces, especially clitics, in the speech chain continuum, when reading, it is necessary to add two more difficulties, not addressed in the scientific literature that deals with learning to read. The first of these two difficulties raised the question: Why did public school students in Early Literacy Cycle 2 nd year, in the cities of Lagarto, SE and S. José da Laje, AL, while producing their cursive first texts, in the narrative and invitation genres, although they demonstrated mastery over the structure and about such genres pragmatic purposes, systematically, had difficulty exceeding the baseline when it was necessary? The cause is the cognitive difficulty for inferring the baseline in the printed Latin writing system, which is necessary to recognize the difference between letters pairs in which only in one of them, the invariant feature crosses in millimeters such inferred baseline, as in p/b, q/d (in 3 cases, the crossing results in a tiny semicircle: j/i, y/v, ç/c). The non-inference, in early literacy for reading, determined in the initial texts in cursive production (invitations or narratives), that children ignored the crossing by some features: in the case of 'p', it resulted in transforming it into a capital letter 'P', with the inconsistency of its use. The 2 nd difficulty is not operating with the zero or absence value, according to Saussure, to achieve greater economy and simplicity in linguistic explanation, with effects on psycholinguistics applied to early literacy. Such discoveries contribute to demystifying certain myths that still exist, undermining an efficient early literacy in Brazil.
