“I write like that because I speak like that”: reflections of the phonetic variation in the writing of the 4th grade of fundamental education I

Abstract

In the initial grades of the school trajectory it is common for the children to reproduce oral aspects in the writing, consisting in one of the biggest challenges of the teaching work. In this sense, we present in the following article the most recurring phonetics variations phenomena in texts produced by 29 4th grade students in elementary school from a municipal school in the city of Assis Chateaubriand, PR. After analysis, we identify that the most productive occurrences are related to the standards of writing modalities and to the children’s recurrent dialects. Our goal was a) indentify the main speaking and writing reflexes; b) categorise, according to established criteria of Bortoni-Ricardo (2005), Cagliari (2007), Lemle (2006) and Mattos e Silva (2003 , writing deviations; c) propose, to the teachers, interventions that subsidise the dealing with spelling in the context of text writing in the classroom.
