Literacy Practices in Early Childhood Education.

Experiences and Accounts of Teaching Practice.

Abstract

This work consists of an experience report developed by two teachers from the municipality of Jaguarão, in the south of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, who carry out unconventional reading practices with three-year-old children. The teachers called the activity "the storyteller," which aims to promote meaningful literacy situations through "reading games" for children in the first stage of basic education. Thus, they aim to show the possibility of working with the social practice of reading, even though early childhood education students do not read conventionally. The habit of reading is built gradually, which is why it can be worked on from the early years of early childhood education, as the process of learning to read begins with each contact children have with letters, words, and text genres, fostering new reading conceptions. This work proposal does not intend for children to engage in proper reading in early childhood education but rather to provide them with the social and cultural experience that reading brings.
