A literatura como elemento motivador para a intervenção pedagógica na alfabetização

Abstract

This paper aimed to promote a pedagogical intervention with the not literate students of the 3rd grade of elementary school, also providing Literary Literacy for the whole class. I tried to make the children move forward and at the same time they could feel more motivated through reading and writing different texts. As specific objectives, I sought to develop specific activities for intervention that involved literary texts to work with students with reading and writing difficulties; reflect with children on the characteristics of poem, letter and short story; elaborate didactic sequences focused on the production of a poem, letter and short story; promote the reading of varied text genres; lead children to recognize the purpose of the texts, read and provide students contact with literary books. The methodology is based on reading strategies (SOLÉ, 1998), and on planning by didactic sequences (DOLZ & SCHNEUWLY, 2004). The action project included the following steps: presentation of literary books that addressed proposed genres (letter, poem and short story); elaboration of a panel with examples of the referred genres; elaboration of activities directed to the gender worked, besides the use of the didactic book. The sequences encompassed both the production of texts by children who had already mastered the alphabetic writing system and the provision of the mobile alphabet [Alfabeto Móvel] to non-alphabetical students to assemble words related to the texts worked on. The results of the work were perceived, above all, by the greater interest of the children in the class in carrying out the readings and in developing the proposed activities. Of the nine children who were still in the initial literacy process, six showed a significant development in learning to read and write during the application of the project. The project gave me the opportunity to meet authors, encouraging the reading of titles that lead to the knowledge of innovative and revolutionary proposals in education that can make a lot of difference in our practice with students and the school community.
