Ensino da língua portuguesa para alunos com dislexia: que se propõe

Abstract

Dyslexia is a learning disorder related to language; however, despite its connection to education, as it involves learning, it is more common to see research in the health field, which directly impacts the educational area, providing guidelines and directions on how to work with this group, mainly in studies on language acquisition. Thus, with the aim of examining what has been produced on the topic in the areas of education and linguistics, our general objective is to examine what has been published as guidance for teaching the Portuguese language to students with dyslexia with the purpose of helping the teacher to understand more about dyslexia and encouraging him to look for more inclusive methodologies so that the learning process is efficient. Specific objectives include: - characterizing dyslexia; - establishing the implications of the disorder in the learning of the Portuguese language; - presenting what has been published to guide Portuguese language professionals in teaching students with dyslexia. Based on a bibliographic survey of online journals, we proceeded to verify the state of the matter, with the aim of creating an overview of the work produced in the area of education and linguistics. After the survey, we read the texts and divided them into three categories, according to their proximity to one another: teacher´s conceptions about teaching Portuguese to students with dyslexia; the dyslexic experience in the classroom; and, finally, teaching practices that help students’ learning. As a result, it was observed that although there are still few publications on dyslexia and teaching the Portuguese language, the articles found were very successful in providing clarity on the topic and offering methodologies that teachers can adopt in the classroom to contribute to healthy and effective learning.
