To elaborate a battery of tests that aimed to determine the level of orthographic knowledge of the alphabetic writing system of Brazilian Portuguese, to characterize, to compare and to classify the performance of students from 2nd to 5th grades of private education according to the semiology of errors. Methods: We developed specific tests for this purpose, following the spelling principles of Portuguese in Brazil. We evaluated 120 children from the 2nd to 5th grades, 30 students of each level divided into four groups, respectively, GI, GII, GIII and GIV. The tests elaborated and applied were divided into: collective version (written in letters of the alphabet, randomized dictation of letters, word dictation, nonword dictation, dictation with pictures, thematic writing induced by picture) and individual version (dictation of sentences, purposeful error, spelled dictation, spelling lexical memory). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison indicating that there was an increase in average accuracy for all tests of the individual and collective version. With the increase of grade level, the groups decreased the average of writing errors based on the semiology of the error. Conclusion: Our data indicate that the profile of spelling acquisition of the Portuguese writing system found in these private students may be indicative of normal development of children's writing in this population.
