Didactic sequence of The Napping House: contributions to spontaneous writing

Abstract

This article is part of a research project developed for the undergraduate thesis in Pedagogy. The objective was to examine how a didactic sequence based on the book “The Napping House” can contribute to the development of spontaneous writing in children at the early literacy stage. The research was carried out in June 2025. The study was conducted in a public school in Quixada, Ceara. Methodologically, it draws on a qualitative, action-research approach. The authors who provided the theoretical foundation for this research include Ferreiro and Teberosky (1999), Morais (2012), Soares (2019), among others. The findings suggest that the integration of children’s literature into literacy practices fosters the development of spontaneous writing. The study also identified Rildo Cosson’s basic sequence as a valuable pedagogical strategy for teachers who experience difficulties in selecting an appropriate methodology for addressing literary reading. Moreover, the promotion of literary reading contributes significantly to the formation of readers.
