Construção de um corpus de escrita infantil com itens de avaliações

Abstract

This study reports on a survey that proposes the construction of a corpus of children’s writing, composed of data from the Literacy Diagnostic Evaluation in the State of Espírito Santo - Paebes Alpha. This is a systematic large-scale assessment in the area of literacy, reading and writing, with a longitudinal perspective, applied to students of the first three years of Elementary School twice a year (Input and Output assessments), over the period 2008-2011. The data that will constitute the corpus refer to the 2010 and 2011 applications. These data are related to four types of writing items in Paebes Alpha, which focus on skills of using the page, writing words, writing sentences, and writing texts. This study aims to contribute significantly to the understanding of the role of written items in evaluations outside the school, as well as to a greater understanding of the writing acquisition process. By constructing the corpus, it will be possible to investigate aspects of this acquisition, such as the paths taken by students in relation to the writing of words and the mastery of skills to use the page.
