The purpose of this paper is to identify the way teachers of the 2nd cycle of Elementary School understand and construct goals for the teaching of spelling, specifically focusing on the work with letter-sound relations of the Portuguese Language Orthographic Standard. We take as reference the classification of spelling elaborated by Morais (1998). According to this author the orthographic standard presents regularities (direct, contextual and morphological) and irregularities in its letter-sound relationship. Twenty teachers from the 2nd Cycle of two municipalities in the metropolitan region of Recife participated in this research, with 10 teachers from each municipality (5 teachers from the 4th grade and 5 teachers from the 5th grade, from each municipality). Data were collected through interviews. The results showed that 80% of the interviewed teachers did not treat spelling as a specific object of teaching, in that sense there was no planning focused on the specificities of the letter-sound relation of the orthographic standard.

Keywords : Teaching goals; Orthographic standard; Brazilian Portuguese Language; Planning.
