Abstract
Alphabetização (literacy) of young children involves a school exclusively devoted to the early years, parental participation, and teachers specialized in early literacy. This is the basis of José Carani’s proposal for an escola familia in the municipality of Cambé (Brazil). This Note from the Field, based on our conversations with José, relates his proposal to the Canadian context.
Résumé
L’alphabetização (l’alphabétisation) des jeunes enfants nécessite une école exclusivement consacrée à la petite enfance, un engagement parental et des enseignants spécialisés dans l’alphabétisation précoce. Ce sont les fondements d’une proposition de José Carani pour une escola familia, située dans la municipalité de Cambé, au Brésil. Inspirée de nos discussions avec José, cette Note du terrain transpose ses recommandations au contexte canadien.
