The importance of orality in the literacy process

Abstract

This work aims at discussing the importance of orality in the literacy process, based on Psycholinguistics studies. It presupposes that the work with pragmatic, semantic, morphological and phonological language bases through orality benefits reading and writing processing, as it stimulates the linguistic awareness development. Therefore, it’s probable that if teachers know better the students’ language development process and stimulate that from this linguistic base they will facilitate the initial reading and writing acquisition processes. In order to do that, this work brings suggestions of easily applicable activities to the classroom.
