Vernacular urban communication and ephemeral educational materials: the possible link between design and education during the process of literacy development in children

Hennes, Mariana ; Coutinho, Solange

Resumo:

Primary education in Brazil is the most extensive cycle of basic education and is characterized as a period during which children experience great transformations and discoveries. Throughout these nine years of learning (aged 6 to 14), pupils undergo one of the most important processes in their school lives: literacy development.

Although we would agree that learning to read and write, as well as interpreting assimilated information, is one of the great watersheds of the school period, we also believe that the concept of literacy is much broader than simply reading, writing and understanding a written text. For Bissoli (2006), this process begins at the very start of human life, when children come into contact with a large universe of graphic information, striving to understand it, even before they have become literate. For the author (op. cit.), the effort to assign meanings to visual 
messages may be considered a form of reading.
