Os jogos no processo de alfabetização da criança

Abstract

The games are amongst the many pedagogical practices that were being elaborated throughout history with a view to the construction of knowledge. They stand out in the educational context, as they present themselves as interesting possibilities to enhance the child’s literacy process. Through them, students can learn while having fun. They can potentialize the process of acquiring writing skills, however, not being the only possibilities. Despite that, their contributions on the construction of knowledge are many, such as the creativity development, cooperation, and for digital games, the development of autonomy on using technological resources. On that subject, the teacher’s mediation is necessary, who will help the child to build their knowledge and appropriate what games can provide. From observation, the teacher will be able to identify which hypotheses the child builds about the writing and, hence, intervene effectively, both at the moment the games take place, and at other moments, using numerous pedagogical strategies for the child to advance in their constructions.
