From literacy practice to writing about oneself: exposing words and emotions in the world

Abstract

The relevance of the study on letter writing as a pedagogical resource for literacy enables learners to experience the process of constructing their own writing using an ancient means of communication, putting their words out into the world. It is by understanding the complexity of the structural register of a textual genre, which refers to the epistle, that we will propose the experience of writing in a meaningful way, that is, one that reflects their own words. The central objective of this work is to present the importance of introducing letter writing into the literacy process as a formative experience, enhancing writing, reading, and, above all, the autonomy of the word. The methodological approach used visits the literature through a bibliographic review, dialoguing and demonstrating, through some letters, the paths of appropriation of writing through affection. What we intend to answer at the end of this essay is: how can the letter be an affective pedagogical resource?
