Se evaluó el desempeño de 288 niños de primer grado en tareas de lectura y escritura de dife-rente grado de complejidad. Se tomaron como predictores de los desempeños en las tareas eva-luadas variables asociadas con la práctica docente y con antecedentes académicos inmediatos de los niños, así como sus características físicas. Mediante la aplicación de un análisis de re-gresión múltiple se identificó que las variables de años de experiencia del maestro en primer grado, el juicio que emite respecto a la adquisición de la lectura y la escritura del niño, la pre-sencia de padecimientos de tipo auditivo y/o visual en el niño, y el promedio logrado por los niños en los cursos de español al término del año escolar predicen aproximadamente un 40% del desempeño de los niños en todos los niveles de complejidad de las tareas de lectura y escri-tura evaluadas.

The achievement of reading and writing ta ks of different complexity leve! was evaluated. Two­hundred eighty-eight first-grade children responded to 76 items cla sified on the basis of one mor­ phological and one functional criterion. Variables regarding teaching practices as well a children's characteristics were used a predictors of reading and writing ta ks. A multiple regression analysis suggested that teacher's judgment  concerning the child's reading-writing  acquisition, sorne visual or auditive deficits, and final average on Spanish course explained almost 40% of the dependen! variable variance.  Result are discussed in terms of their teaching-leaming implications.

Se presenta un modelo de influencias familiares en el desarrollo de conducta antisocial, delicti-va, rendimiento y problemas escolares en adolescentes. Doscientos cuatro estudiantes de educa-ción secundaria y preparatoria fueron evaluados y sus respuestas se analizaron en un modelo estructural. Los resultados mostraron que el maltrato de los padres, el vivir en una familia no cooperativa y la ingesta de alcohol y drogas de la madre influía en el desarrollo de conducta antisocial, la cual promovía el comportamiento delictivo y afectaba negativamente el promedio escolar. La conducta delictiva y la ingesta de alcohol de la madre influían en los problemas es-colares, los cuales podían ser parcialmente revertidos por las habilidades sociales de los jóve-nes. Se observó la necesidad de orientación escolar a las familias para prevención.

A model of family influences on the development of antisocial behavior and scholar problems in adolescents is presented. Two-hundred four students of junior and high school were assessed. Data were analyzed through a structural equation model. Results showed that child abuse, a no cooperative family and mothers' alcohol consumption had a direct effect on antisocial behavior,which in turn promoted delinquen behavior and negatively affected school grades of students. Delinquency and mothers' alcohol consumption had an influence on students' school problems,which could be partially overturned by their social abilities. Results suggest the necessity of counselling for families in arder to prevent school problems and bad grades in adolescents.
