Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the relationship between the functioning of working memory and the ability to synthesise words from phonemes by early school aged children. The author of the text emphasises the interaction of these processes, which are introduced into educational programmes. Both the task of memory stimulation and synthesising words from phonemes play an important role in the education of normally developing children, as well as those requiring special education. The source of data confirming this position is a study of 16 pupils with diagnosed developmental disorders who remained in therapy to improve their overall development. It was shown that stimulating the described processes is important and required at the preparatory stage of reading and writing.
