SUMMARY:

the pandemic COVID -19 has made basic education in the public school system in Brazil
even more difficult and has opened a chasm in literacy and reading practices in the population, both in
the family and in school. low income. This is reflected in the fact that children did not have access to
school activities at home even after two years of the pandemic. Distance learning, which was proposed
during the isolation, could not reach all of them because the vulnerable children did not have access to
a computer or smartphone and to the Internet. Although the time shared with the family may have
increased with social isolation, the quality of this time used for family literacy cannot be guaranteed,
since many of these parents do not even know how to provide such opportunities to their children. Based
on this assumption, the present work uses as its theoretical foundation the historical-cultural
neuropsychology postulated by Luria's works and Vygotsky's contributions to the study of language and
its symbolic mediation. The general objective was to analyze the impact of the pandemic on family
practices for learning to read and write among children between 6 and 11 years old in public schools.
The methodology was based on a quantitative study with transversal sectioning conducted in schools of
the urban public education network. The target population was 28 parents or guardians of children
between 6 and 11 years old. The Brazilian version of the COVID-19 HELP questionnaire was used,
which includes questions about family literacy practices. Results: The variable that analyzed the
mother's occupational situation showed that part of the sample moved from full-time employment
outside the home to unemployment, considering the region before and after COVID -19. The second
significant item was "number of adult digital books", where there was a significant decrease in access to
digital books by these parents and/or adult household members during the pandemic. Conclusion: It was
found that the pandemic did not have a significant impact on family literacy practices, suggesting that
while social isolation provided caregivers with more time with their children, the availability and quality
of that time for literacy practices did not. Being a low-income population, this finding is a clear indication
of the vulnerability of this population and shows the harsh reality of the country where a high percentage
of the population is illiterate or lacks reading habits.
