The participants were 36 students of a public pre-school, with mean age of 5,5 years old. The design consisted of Pre-test, Intervention and Post-tests 1 and 2. Children who presented low results in Pre-test in LK and/or PA tasks were considered at risk for presenting reading and writing difficulties. Spelling and reading skills were also assessed. The children were allocated randomly in two groups: Multisensory Group (MG) and Control Group (CG). The MG participated of three intervention sessions per week, during four months, totaling 48 sessions. The CG held alternative activities. The results showed a significant effect of the intervention for children at risk in all skills assessed, suggesting the effectiveness of the program to prevent literacy difficulties.Keywords: Early literacy; Phonological awareness; Letters knowledge; Intervention; Kindergartners. Programa Multisensorial/Fónico: Efectos en niños preescolares en riesgo de presentar dificultades de alfabetización ResumenEste estudio evalua los resultados de un programa multisensorial con énfasis fonética sobre la conciencia fonológica (CF), el conocimiento del alfabeto (CA) y las destrezas iniciales de lectura y escritura en niños preescolares. Participaron 36 estudiantes de una escuela pública, con edad media de 5,5 años. El estudio consistió en Pre-teste, Intervención y Pos-testes 1 y 2. Los niños que tuvieron resultados inferiores en CA e/o en CF fueran considerados en riesgo de presentar dificultades en la alfabetización. Las habilidades de lectura y escritura también fueron evaluadas. Los participantes fueron divididos aleatoriamente en Grupo Multisensorial (GM) y Grupo Control (GC). El GM participó en tres sesiones de intervención semanales, durante cuatro meses (48 sesiones). El GC realizó actividades alternativas. Los resultados indican efecto positivo dela intervención para los niños de riesgo, para todas las habilidades evaluadas, lo que sugiere la eficacia del programa para evitar dificultades en la alfabetización.
