Este trabalho é um recorte da pesquisa de mestrado e configura-se como um estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa. Tem como objetivo analisar uma proposta de ensino para a alfabetização e para o letramento de uma turma de 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A proposta, elaborada a partir da obra “Dois Chapéus Vermelhinhos”, escrita por Ronaldo Simões Coelho e ilustrada por Humberto Guimarães, desenvolveu-se no período de quatro dias. As aulas foram observadas, e, como instrumentos de coleta de dados, foi usado o diário de campo, além do registro fotográfico. O referencial teórico que norteia as análises do trabalho se refere aos processos de alfabetização e de letramento. Constatou-se que o livro infantil, com seu potencial textual, pode ser um instrumento significativo para o ensino da leitura e da escrita. Além disso, pode fornecer subsídio para o desenvolvimento de atividades que envolvem gêneros textuais de forma contextualizada. Por fim, compreende-se o livro infantil como uma ferramenta que pode vir a colaborar com os processos de alfabetização e de letramento.

The book editor offers some final comments about the state of the field and promise for the future. Leavy suggests researchers consider using the language of “shapes” to talk about the forms their research takes and to highlight the ongoing role of the research community in shaping knowledge-building practices. She reviews the challenges and rewards of taking your work public. Leavy concludes by noting that institutional structures need to evolve their rewards criteria in order to meet the demands of practicing contemporary research and suggests that professors update their teaching practices to bring the audiences of research into the forefront of discussions of methodology.
