This article is the result of the Digital Literacy Project and Teacher Performance in Vale the Mamanguape - PIBIC / UFPB.The study took as theoretical background the postulates of Lévy (1999), Coscarelli (1999), Xavier (2002), Soares (2002, 2010) and Maciel (2008), among others. The objective is to present a study on digital literacy of education professionals working in primary education and pedagogical contributions facilitated by these digital technologies in professional exercise, also seeking to identify the ways which teachers are appropriating these technologies with regard to reading and writing. After the study, we observed that the teachers have a computer, have access to the internet and use it very frequently in their social practices. Its use related to reading activities and writing didactically, is restricted to the research disciplines of content, email use and social networks with form of communication with students. We believe that this research will point to new directions about the teaching / learning process, as the most of the professionals of education still needs to be digitally trained to teach a lesson in this context, that is be digitally literate.
