LETRAMENTO E LEITURA DE MUNDO: CONSIDERAÇÕES DE PAULO FREIRE SOBRE A ALFABETIZAÇÃO

Abstract

Understanding that literacy must be significant, relevant and happen as a process that is inseparable from the social construction of reading and writing practices, in this article, we aim to answer: what are P. Freire's main considerations about literacy and the relationship between literacy and reading the world? We aim to present the main ideas of emancipatory literacy, from the Freirean perspective. This is a theoretical and documental study, considering writings by P. Freire and scholars of his thought on literacy and documents available in the Paulo Freire collection of the Instituto and Memorial Paulo Freire. It is concluded that P. Freire's pedagogy drives us to understand that language and reality are dynamically linked. Reading and writing, texts, words, letters, cannot mean a break with the “reading” of the world.
