A LUDICIDADE COMO MECANISMO NA ALFABETIZAÇÃO

Abstract

This paper describes playfulness as a mechanism in literacy. Such an approach is justified because playfulness is a pleasant and significant resource that contributes to the child's learning process. Playful action allows the possibility to explore, discover, invent, destroy and build. Through games and play children interact with each other developing their skills, expanding their intellect, learning spontaneously. Games and play are important pedagogical instruments and determinants for the child's development, in which they develop the necessary skills for their literacy process. In this way, significant resources are constituted for them. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of playfulness in the literacy process, as it is a facilitating and mediating tool for learning. It also aims to show how playful contributes to the construction of learning; make a brief account of how games and games contribute to the construction of learning and how the role of the teacher should be in the face of this process. This purpose will be achieved through the bibliographic review, consulting authors pertinent to the theme. The study demonstrated that playful activities contribute significantly to the children's learning process. However, the teacher must have a good planning aiming at the broad development of the child, providing activities that challenge and develop them in their entirety.
