In this article, we present the results of research that analyzed, based on spontaneous writings with and without pictures, the appropriation of the alphabetic writing system by children with intellectual disabilities in the initial phase of initial reading instruction. In the study, eight children participated in an initial and final assessment of the psychogenetic level of writing. We verified, in both situations, an important frequency of different sub-levels of writing, in the production of the same child, both in the condition with pictures and without pictures. We observed that there was no positive effect of testing with pictures on the evolution of the children's conceptual level of writing. On the contrary, in the condition with pictures, we identified a lower percentage of notations at the alphabetic level, accompanied by an expansion of “Other” writings, whose characteristics were not included in the theory of psychogenesis of written language, as described by Ferreiro and Teberosky (1979). We concluded that the diversification of sub-levels in different testing situations did not always reveal a conceptual evolution of writing. Furthermore, there was a relation between the degree of writing difficulty and the result of this record.
