Abstract:
ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify family literacy practices with preschoolers from a public school in a municipality of the Northeast Region of Brazil. Methods: 21 parents/guardians of pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students from a public school participated in this study. A questionnaire with 18 items on the parents’/guardians’ participation in family literacy practices was develop for this research. The resulting data underwent descriptive and inferential analysis, with the significance level set at 5%. Results: the preschoolers’ mean age was 69 months, and that of the parents/guardians who answered the questionnaire was 31 years. The educational level of most parents/guardians was either high school or unfinished middle school. A significant, positive relationship, between the parents’/guardians’ educational level and the following questionnaire items was seen: paying attention to the children when they spoke, calling their attention to the sound of letters and words, and teaching/encouraging them to write their names. Conclusion: family literacy practices are not commonly developed in the culture of the Northeast Region of Brazil, and when so, most of them are similar to activities taught at school. There was also a weak correlation between the parents’/guardians’ educational level and the family literacy practices.
