Resumo: |
Learning how to read and write in alphabetical writing systems constitutes a complex task that demands many skills, among them the knowledge of letters and their relation to the sounds of the language. Hence, guaranteeing the teaching and learning of the alphabetic principle, i.e., that the letters represent the sounds in children s education, allows learners to become proficient readers and writers in the following schooling years. Research shows that the knowledge of the name of the letters relates with the initial progress in the learning process of reading and writing. Literature in this domain still shows the contributions of the development of the alphabetical principle to the practices in literacy. An educational application aimed at the teaching and learning of the alphabetic principle can help the learner understand that the letters represent the sounds. This research had two goals: to develop an educational application - Mundo das Letras ( World of Letters ), aimed at teaching the alphabetic principle, supported by the contributions from cognitive psychology of reading, and to test its usage with a group of children aged between five and six. Two thirty-student groups from the second degree of preschool at a Municipal Children Education School (EMEI) located in the city of São Paulo were formed in order to test the application s usage: the application group (GA) and the control group (GC). A three-step outline was used: initial evaluation, application and final evaluation. The application of Mundo das Letras application was carried out in the EMEI s computer lab for thirty days, three times a week, with the duration of thirty minutes per session. The results demonstrated that the children from the application group obtained a great advancement in the recognition and naming of the letters of the alphabet, when compared to children from the control group. The application group s children s utterances as well as the observation of their behavior during the application sessions showed that the application aroused their interest and motivation, retaining their attention and their expressed willingness to continue using the application. Some considerations were made regarding the implication of these results to the initial teaching of the written language to preschool children |
