In this paper, we recover the theoretical framework proposed by Lee S. Shulman to answer to the following question: What is the base knowledge of the literacy teacher? From this question, one may understand that the teaching of literacy implies in the calling and in the operationalization of different kinds of knowledge, some of which have not been researched deeply and, for this reason are still dependent on intuition and unsystematic practices that are hardly available for learning in academic contexts training. We argue that it is for this same reason that the pedagogical task of teaching to read becomes difficult to be conceived by young teachers. We sustain that the model of knowledge of the literacy teacher that we present can be considered in the design of the current Portuguese literacy teacher training context, which we is also characterized briefly.

Keywords : Early Literacy Teacher; Professional Learning; Elementary School Teacher.
