The objective of this study was to verify the effect of two teaching procedures for comprehension and composition of sentences with children. In the Study 1, five children were exposed to conditional relations training, equivalence tests, training through response chaining, sentences production tests, connectivity tests and reading with comprehension tests. In the Study 2, four children were exposed only to the training through response chaining and subsequent tests. Three sets of stimuli were used: drawings, upper case words and lower case words. In both studies, all participants produced the new sentences, but reading with comprehension was observed only in the Study 1. These results demonstrated the emergency of new sentences. It is concluded that the used stimuli were functionally equivalents.
