O brincar e sua importância para o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem da linguagem escrita nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research addresses playing in the early years of Elementary School. The main objective is to discuss playing in the early years of Elementary School, considering its importance for children's development and learning. To achieve the objectives, qualitative research was carried out, based on bibliography and an experience report from carrying out mandatory internships at the university. To understand the topic, a documentary research of Course Completion Works was also carried out in the repository of the Federal University of Paraíba - UFPB. The research begins with a theoretical foundation with Vygotsky and his Cultural History Theory, then presents playing in this transition process from Early Childhood Education to Elementary Education, ending with the role of playing in the appropriation of written language. Some researchers dialogue with the work to strengthen research, the two main ones are: Soares (2009) and Borba (2007). According to the analyzes carried out, considering the experiences experienced during the curricular internship, it is concluded that playing does not happen effectively in the initial years due to the demand for content, the lack of space for it to be carried out and the lack of understanding of playing as a learning. This study hopes to contribute to expanding the discussion on the topic and strengthening play within schools.
