Description
Summary:This paper examines the registers of literacy teachers in school notebooks containing orientations, indications, and suggestions on the teaching and usage of different letter types. The analysis was based on 200 notebooks, from 200 to 2015, archived in a Brazilian Memory Center [cb1]. Different registers were identified and separated into two categories: “Compliments and incentives on the letters” and “Requests and recommendations on the letters”. In the first one, registers were observed to demonstrate the teachers’ satisfaction with the progress of students on the shapes of their letters. In the second one, a set of activities and tools were identified for training to upgrade the letters which did not show an “ideal shape”.
