O ensino da leitura e escrita: um olhar sobre a importância dos gêneros textuais no processo de alfabetização e letramento nos anos iniciais

Abstract

The present work aimed to understand how the text, in its different genres, can become a resource to assist the teacher in the teaching practices of reading and writing in the process of initial reading instruction and literacy. It is understood that both reading and writing arose from the need for communication and registration of the human being, that is, it is a cultural construction. In this context, learning to read and write is part of initial reading instruction, but that is not enough, it is necessary to know how to deal with and understand different texts and social contexts, which involves literacy. Initial reading instruction and literacy although they are distinct are inseparable, it is up to the teacher to assume, then, the role of mediator in this educational process. Thus, textual genres are an immeasurable source of teaching and learning possibilities, presenting as a significant educational tool, present in society and linked to social interaction.
