This research aims to present the process and the results of a research-action intervention, developed in order to improve the knowledge of students learning how to read and write and the teaching of their teachers. For the diagnosis, participant observations were accomplished and activities were proposed to students seen by the teachers as having learning problems: 21 children (16 boys and 5 girls from 8 to 12 years old) of 1st and 2nd grades. The activities allowed to grasp the available knowledge as well as to infer the cognitive structures already built by the children, verifying possible difficulties in interacting with the social environment and with the knowledge object (the language). Consequently, it was possible to classify the students in three different levels, each one involving certain competences and conceptions about the written language, which served as a base for constructing new knowledge about it. The intervention occurred in two classrooms, which were not composed only of students involved in the project. Piaget’s theory guided the research.
