ABSTRACT:
This article presents partial results of an ongoing research, with the objective of investigating early literacy practices in schools of the municipal education system of Salvador, regarding the use of games as didactic resources aimed at appropriation of written language. The qualitative methodology, from a collaborative perspective, proposes the collection of repositories, practices and discourses involving games and materials for early literacy, as well as an intervention in schools, with the purpose of constructing shared knowledge about these resources, articulating playful function and pedagogical function. Results from the first phase of the research, composed from interviews and observation, reveal that teachers recognize the value of games in early literacy, but their low frequency in routines and planning indicates that this use is incipient, with many justifications given for this absence. The research suggest thatit is necessary to invest, in the training of teachers, in actions to strengthen didactic strategies that approach the teaching of written language in a reflexive, non-mechanical way.
