Letramento além da alfabetização: a ficha de cadastro como gênero textual

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the perspective of literacy beyond the initial literacy, since, as a social practice of reading and writing, it is understood that this perspective should cover all stages of basic education and not be restricted to discussion around alphabetize versus literacy. Apart from considerations of literacy in the Brazilian educational panorama based on formulations Soares, Kleiman and Rojo, and the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) as a teaching tool, the text presents the report of an experiment conducted with students in the fourth grade of elementary school, in a public school Sertaozinho-SP, from the genre registration form which had as result a significant learning about personal data and address. It is concluded that projects guided by an approach to assign function to social practices of reading and writing are necessary and viable in all stages of schooling.
