TASSONI, Elvira Cristina Martins  and  FERNANDES, Jonas. Read and Write Program: An experience with 4th and 5th grades. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.1, pp.13-26. ISSN 1519-3993.  https://doi.org/10.122015/edupuc377112852.

This article brings the results of a research that investigated how the teaching materials of the Programa Ler e Escrever have been used in 4th and 5th grade classrooms of a State Elementary School in the city of Campinas (SP). The empirical material was produced by observing classes in both grades and using information provided by the teachers. The results show: (i) little organizational variability in classes and little interaction between students for discussing the activities proposed; (ii) that the teachers' difficulties in using the material were sometimes transferred to students; (iii) that the teacher may make the mistake of seeing the reading and writing practices as something natural and easy to learn, considering written language as a obvious object that reveals itself alone. It is necessary to reflect on the day-by-day actions that end up automatized due to labor conditions, which makes it more difficult to create space for discussion.

Keywords : Teaching material; Educational policy; Pedagogical practices; Read and Write Program.
