This article is part of a doctoral research whose purpose was to develop a methodological possibility of working with children in the process of appropriation of written language supported by texts constructed and used socially. In order to reach the objective, an intervention research was carried out with a 1st grade class from Elementary School of a school of the federal education network located in the city of Uberlândia / MG. Among the various topics discussed in the thesis, the debate about the use of the capital letter during the literacy process was chosen for this publication. Among literacy teachers there is still the belief that capitals letters are simpler to learn and, therefore, to small children are offered this type of writing. However, the results indicated that the subjects ‘involvement in the work with the double box qualitatively assisted the students’ literacy process.

Keywords : Literacy; Appropriation of written culture; Double carton; Blank space.
