READING AND WRITING IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE AMAZONIA PARAENSE

This research, based on the assumptions of the Cultural Historical Theory of Vygotsky is linked to the study "The Senses of Writing Attributed by Pre-School Children", developed within the scope of the Academic Master in Education of the Federal University of the West of Para - UFOPA. The methodology consists of observations of the teaching practice and semi-structured interviews with two pre-school teachers, one from the public network and another from the private teaching network of the municipality of Santarem, PA. This is a qualitative research with the objective of analyzing the conceptions of pre-school teachers about pre-school reading and writing. The analysis of the work allowed to observe the contrast regarding the methodological procedures developed in the field of reading and writing. The results show that, although there are significant differences regarding the methodological approach of the two teachers to the children's experience with the written culture, both are similar when they bring pre-school to the routine of activities, promoting a return on the achievements of studies on reading and writing practices in early childhood education. The training of teachers implies directly in their practices, and is guiding for their planning, mediation and teaching conception.
