Summary/Abstract: Through this research is emphasized the value of MLU-morphemes (Mean Length of Utterance), MLU-words and of the number of morphemes and words collected based on the procedure of calculating MLU (50 statements collected from child`s spontaneous speech), in relation with children`s performance in Reversal Test, in order to identify the predictive value of these tasks for lexical-graphical abilities structuring. The obtained results prove MLU-morphemes and the identified number of morphemes predictive values, compared with the performance obtained in Reversal Test.
