This article discusses the partial results of a research on assessment in the Initial Cycle of Literacy in the Federal District. This cycle began in 2005 at 52 schools in Ceilândia, one of the Federal District’s cities. Data were collected through: interviews with supervisors who worked in the Federal District’s State Secretary of Education and others who worked in Ceilândia; an analysis of the document that guides the Initial Cycle of Literacy; an analysis of 33 interventional projects formulated by the schools; an analysis of the information elicited from a questionnaire answered by school teachers. This article deals with: the Federal District’s innovative endeavor in the implementation of phases and steps, instead of grades, when education was first established in Brasilia, in 1960, the year of its inauguration; the teachers’ collaborative work and the interventional projects, aspects that are emphasized in the official guidelines; and aspects related to assessment in the official guidelines. The data highlights the challenges for assessment in the Initial Cycle of Literacy.

Keywords : Assessment; Initial Cycle Of Literacy; Pedagogical Work.
