The book provides a general framework for understanding “the infrastructure of teaching and learning reading and writing,” which considers the various dimensions and conditions present in this process.
We conducted several reviews and adjustments to organize the information without simplifying it, while presenting it in an accessible manner.
We seek to offer a guide for action, always attentive to those who carry it out, providing the rationale and justification for each dimension involved in the literacy process. We believe that only in this way is it possible to stop treating the teacher as a mere executor of prescriptions and grant her the place she deserves as a producer of meaning for her practical decisions. With Ana, we learned that, out of professional respect for you, the teacher, we must avoid closed manuals or lists of activities. Therefore, we always opt for open materials (which does not prevent them from being structured) that allow for the incorporation of the knowledge that only the teacher has regarding their students and the processes that occur in each classroom.
Receive this “lesson” as a gift aimed at guiding pedagogical decisions regarding the initial teaching of reading and writing. May this book be a starting point for you to engage with the official and unofficial materials that come your way, and may it provide you with the confidence to decide what to use, in what way, and at what time.
