Given the scarcity of well-validated instruments in Brazil capable of measuring local coherence ability in children-found the need to undertake a study to quantitatively reveal the performance of linguistic processing, in respect of local coherence in a population of normal children of the network mainstream education. The ability local coherence is essential for good reading comprehension and is characterized by the production of inferences between a sentence and the other from the reading of a text. In this study we used the Local Coherence Inference Test translated into Portuguese, which was applied in 50 normal children of elementary school, aged 9-13 years, with the objective of determining if there is an age effect on the performance of this group on the Local Coherence Inference Test translated into Portuguese. Results showed that children 9 years of age showed some reduction in their performance in the test, however, the discrepancy in the number of correct responses between the groups was not significant, which may indicate that children 9 years old can properly access the ability of local Coherence, but the more practice reading, knowledge about the theme and most relevant topic lexical repertoire child will be able to establish an more appropriate inference from a sentence and another.
