LOECH, Gabriela  and  PASSEGGI, Maria da Conceição. Connecting through the heart: narrated experiences about reading and writing in times of pandemic. Educ. Form. [online]. 2023, vol.8, e10382.  Epub July 18, 2023. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v8.e10382.

This article aims to make considerations about reading and writing practices based on what ten kindergarten teachers narrate about their experiences with children in times of pandemic. The work adopts the epistemological perspective of (auto)biographical research in education in dialogue with authors who contribute to problematize these narratives of lived experience in the processes of co-training and teacher self-(trans)training. Technical competence and political commitment are articulated here, considered unavoidable to accompany children from 4 to 5 years old in the process of appropriation of reading and writing as a fundamental condition to the exercise of citizenship. It ends with the defense that the joint reflection between teachers and trainers on experiences, doubts, doings, and duties inherent to pedagogical practices has much to contribute to the production of scientific knowledge in educational research based on an incarnate knowledge.

Keywords : experience narratives; coformation and self-transformation; reading and writing in preschool; pandemic.
