RESUMO

Introduction: This paper reflects on speech therapy, reading and writing, from relationships between literacy processes, social practices and discursive circulation of children in the process of sociocultural formation. Recent studies have defined literacy as a set of social practices that use writing (as a symbolic and technological system) in given contexts and for specific socio-relational goals. Other studies, in the same direction, see literacy as a set of social practices, culturally constituted and socially situated, highlighting that new literacy studies postulate the written language as a phenomenon that should be observed from a social and ethnographic perspective, since it is from these dimensions that types of literacy can be analyzed. Objective: To characterize and analyze, from the standpoint of speech, literacy, modes of movement and use of adequate writing by 69 students from two third-stage classes of an elementary public school located in the city of São Paulo. Method: We developed and applied a protocol that comprises different writing types in order to verify the recognition skills, familiarity and usage of literacy / language of 69 schoolchildren. The age of students ranged from 5 years and 1 month to 6 years and 1 month (58% male and 42% female). Data analysis was performed by mapping the students literacy rates based on the levels and types of literacy included in specialized literature. Results and Discussion: Based on the notion of literacy and how it was used in the speech pathologist work undertaken, we see the relevance and usefulness of studies on the use, familiarity and notion of writing styles for school, as they give access to the various logics with which children operate, think and act in practices that involve writing skills. Among the presented writing styles, we find, for this age group, a significant recognition skill: letter; journalistic narratives for children; traffic signs, cartoons; and recipes, which are viewed and / or used by themselves and / or relatives at home, on the way to school and on other social spaces. Conclusion: the presence of literacy practices among those surveyed is remarkable, a fact that suggests the relevance of considering the processes of literacy in both the pedagogical strategies of early childhood education, and in speech therapy with students who have difficulties and / or disturbances in the acquisition of writing. Considering this, speech therapy may benefit (in their clinical work and advice to educational institutions) of reading and writing on the condition indicators of the forms of social interaction, guided by specific social practices, which - apart from learning the conventions - places the ownership and uses of writing in terms of the constitution of subjects and social realities
