ALFABETIZAÇÃO E LETRAMENTO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

This article investigates the concepts of literacy and literacy in early childhood education. Literacy, understood as the mastery of reading and writing skills, and literacy, which involves the social and meaningful use of language, are interconnected processes that must be conducted in an integrated manner for the integral development of the child. To carry out this study, the bibliographic method was used, based on the analysis of academic works, scientific articles and official documents on the subject. The bibliographic review allowed the construction of a consistent theoretical framework, enabling the understanding of the pedagogical approaches and practices that favor literacy and literacy in early childhood education. In this sense, the objective of this article is to discuss the integration of the literacy and literacy process and its importance for children's development. The aim is to analyze the relationship between literacy (reading and writing skills) and literacy (social use of language), investigate effective pedagogical practices and highlight the fundamental role of the teacher. In addition, it highlights the role of the teacher as a mediator of knowledge, who, by creating appropriate strategies, enables children not only to learn to read and write, but also to develop the ability to understand and interact critically with the world around them.
