Abstract
At the lecture Alfabetização e Letramento – TeoriaS e PráticaS, which integrated the program of the online event Abralin ao Vivo – Linguists Online, Professor Magda Soares presents the concept of literacy that has been guiding the strategies used in the Preschool and first grades of Elementary School in Lagoa Santa (MG, Brazil) and has led to the city’s successful experience. This review presents fundamental aspects of this conception, which, according to Soares, is centered on giving attention to the child’s cognitive and linguistic development while guiding their process of learning the written language. The lecturer presents some of the main psychological and linguistic theories that offer important scientific evidence about the initial learning of written language. Soares argues that children must learn the alphabetic writing system whilst assimilating the social uses of reading and writing. Some of these theories are recovered in this review. It also highlights divergences between the conception of literacy presented by Magda Soares and the one currently proposed by the Brazilian federal government.
