In this profession it is important to consider the language concepts, as well as teaching and learning language and a broader social cultural dimension that allows the teacher to transit into the world of literature, oral tradition, child play culture and the different speech genres which are involved in the reading and writing practices - fundamental aspects in the range of a literacy conception in literacy and multiple literacy contexts.
