Abstract

SEPULVEDA, Angélica  and  TEBEROSKY, Ana. (Re)production of written language in the initial learning of writing texts. Leng. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.1, pp.198-225.  Epub Jan 20, 2021. ISSN 0120-3479.  https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v49i1.8800.

In this paper, we reflect upon the activity of text reproduction or rewriting, as a specific procedure to teaching and learning written language. We present a detailed description of the language reproduced and reformulated by two second graders when rewriting a story from a children’s literature book. From the analysis of these examples we consider the importance of linguistic input and the role of language reproduction in the learning process. Finally, we highlight the teaching conditions under which the type of children’s production analyzed took place: classrooms where children’s literature books are read, discussed, recounted and rewritten.

Keywords : literacy; written language; rewriting.
