Based on theories of language acquisition through the bias of Behaviorist Psychology, Genetic Epistemology and interactionism, as well as language acquisition through Linguistics, with generativism and Connectionism. Furthermore, theories of writing acquisition by Emília Ferreiro and Ana Teberosky (1991) were used. Using the hypothetical-deductive method and descriptive research, the Cloze comprehension test was used; To carry out this technique, aiming to analyze the students' prior knowledge, we used the content corresponding to their school grade, which is consonant digraphs. From the following investigation, it is possible to outline pedagogical and behavioral strategies based on diverse data, taking into account the sociocultural perspective that encompasses the two groups observed, with them being of a completely different age group, a determining factor for data analysis. The results show significant gaps in the writing acquisition process of students attending elementary school II, which reveal challenges, while EJA students, who have a fragmented educational process, obtained satisfactory results in understanding digraphs. Such results can be explained through the essential characteristics of learning, as it entails several development processes internally, which only work when the individual interacts with their living environment, therefore, the comparative study allows us to ascertain the level of perception according to the experiences of each group studied. These perceptions are mental processes, according to Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, forming part of the formation of human thought. Thus, internalization processes influence the formation of scientific concepts developed at school, that is, there is knowledge that individuals learn even before attending school. Finally, it is through different theoretical currents that different conceptions are observed in the process of acquiring written languageAcesso AbertoTeste ClozeAquisição da escritaDígrafosEstudo comparativoCloze testAcquisition of writingDigraphsComparative studyTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES
