Para la enseñanza de lecto-escritura de español en niños existen diferentes métodos usados por los profesores. La importancia de los métodos de lecto-escritura usados para los niños de la primera infancia se vincula con el futuro educativo y profesional de la persona.

Se hace la revisión de 26 artículos, de los cuales 15 son estudios hechos por diferentes autores para evaluar la efectividad de los diferentes métodos. En el contexto de los artículos revisados se encuentra el método global, el sintético, el fonético, el silábico, el ecléctico, junto con estrategias pictofónicas y el programa de Experiencias Comunicativas en Situaciones variadas de lectura y escritura (ECOS). Los hallazgos permiten concluir que sí hay métodos más efectivos que otros en la enseñanza de lecto-escritura de español en niños. También se puede concluir de acuerdo a la revisión, que la familiaridad de las palabras y el entrenamiento en habilidades fonológicas juega un papel importante en el desempeño de los niños en la realización de las diferentes tareas.
