Linguistic knowledge is fundamental to the field of early iteracy as it underpins methodologies, teacher training and classroom performance. Therefore, the article aim is to present the main contributions of linguistics to early literacy. Initially, the linguistic economy principle is examined and how it works, adding to this the contributions of linguistics to the zero or absence concept. Then, the Brazilian Portuguese processing units are defined and presented at the lowest levels, both in the oral and written systems. The difference between phoneme and sound and between letter and grapheme is also detailed to finally discuss invariance. Throughout the text it is explained how the presented principles can be applied in the early literacy process.
