“…Promoting health via the information environment has been a key practice of health promotion practitioners, with examples that include inserting nutrition information in restaurant menus (59), installing seatbelt warning lights in the cars we drive (60), and delivering public service announcements via the television to promote parent–child communication about alcohol use (61). The concept of environmental print , which refers to the symbols, signs, numbers, and colors of everyday life that enhance children’s literacy (41, 62), holds relevance for harnessing the information environment by guiding health promotion practitioners to interweave health messaging across everyday-life contexts of individuals. Examples of theoretical change methods cited in IM (22) that can contribute to the creation of an environmental print for health include cues to action (44), in which cues are embedded into a given behavioral setting, such as stickers within bathrooms to promote handwashing with soap (63) and point-of-choice prompts that encourage stair climbing (64), and behavioral journalism , in which health-related role model stories are interwoven into newspapers, magazine articles, and other media (42, 43).…”

The important influence of the environmental context on health and health behavior—which includes place, settings, and the multiple environments within place and settings—has directed health promotion planners from a focus solely on changing individuals, toward a focus on harnessing and changing context for individual and community health promotion. Health promotion planning frameworks such as Intervention Mapping provide helpful guidance in addressing various facets of the environmental context in health intervention design, including the environmental factors that influence a given health condition or behavior, environmental agents that can influence a population’s health, and environmental change methods. In further exploring how to harness the environmental context for health promotion, we examine in this paper the concept of interweaving of health promotion into context, defined as weaving or blending together health promotion strategies, practices, programs, and policies to fit within, complement, and build from existing settings and environments. Health promotion interweaving stems from current perspectives in health intervention planning, improvement science and complex systems thinking by guiding practitioners from a conceptualization of context as a backdrop to intervention, to one that recognizes context as integral to the intervention design and to the potential to directly influence health outcomes. In exploring the general approach of health promotion interweaving, we examine selected theoretical and practice-based interweaving concepts in relation to four key environments (the policy environment, the information environment, the social/cultural/organizational environment, and the physical environment), followed by evidence-based and practice-based examples of health promotion interweaving from the literature. Interweaving of health promotion into context is a common practice for health planners in designing health promotion interventions, yet one which merits further intentionality as a specific health promotion planning design approach.

“…Nesse sentido, os resultados obtidos parecem corroborar estudos que evidenciaram a melhora no desempenho das habilidades de consciência fonológica, leitura e escrita, mediante intervenção de base fônica, em amostras de alunos com propensão para apresentarem dificuldades de aprendizagem, devido a um repertório inicial reduzido em termos de conhecimentos sobre a escrita e baixo nível de habilidades metalinguísticas (Vellutino et. al, 2006;Vedasy & Sanders, 2010;Labat et al, 2014;Neumann, 2014).…”

“…Embora esses trabalhos tenham procurado utilizar o movimento corporal, as propostas de Gentaz et al (2003) e Neumann (2014) utilizaram apenas movimento das mãos e/ou braços, muito semelhante à proposta de Montessori (1948), enquanto as propostas de Neumann et al (2008) e Dmitriev (2014) não apresentaram metodologias que permitissem mensurar quantitativamente os progressos observados no desempenho das crianças.…”

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.
