ABSTRACT:
This article aims to present and discuss two literacy practices with children six years old in the context of the extension of the time in elementary school. The ethnographic perspective of the New Literacy Studies was configured as main methodological and theoretical support. Questioning about what was the starting point chosen by teachers for teaching reading and writing we contrasted two different literacy practices: one, whose starting point for the construction of literacy events was each letter of the alphabet; and another, who had predominantly text and context as triggers this process.
