To develop this issue, we selected writings of students from the I and II Learning Cycles of a municipal public school located in São Luís, Maranhão. Through the analysis, this qualitative research investigated problems in children’s writing, focusing the interference of the orality and the ignorance of orthography arbitrary conventions, classifying the errors into four categories from the model suggested by Bortoni-Ricardo (2005): 1) errors due to the ignorance of the arbitrary nature of the writing convention system; 2) errors arising from the transposition of oral habits for writing. This latter one is subdivided into: i) errors due to the interference of categorical phonological rules in the dialect we study; ii) errors due to the interference of gradual variable phonological rules; and iii) errors due to the interference of discontinuous phonological rules. / Nesta dissertação foram pesquisadas as dificuldades das crianças com relação ao aprendizado da escrita. Para o desenvolvimento da temática, foram selecionadas escritas de estudantes do I e II Ciclo de Aprendizagem de escola pública da rede municipal de educação de São Luís, Maranhão. Por meio dessa análise, esta pesquisa de cunho qualitativo investigou os problemas na escrita infantil, enfocando a interferência da oralidade e o desconhecimento das convenções arbitrárias da ortografia, classificando os erros em quatro categorias a partir do modelo sugerido por Bortoni-Ricardo (2005): 1) erros decorrentes do desconhecimento da natureza arbitrária do sistema de convenções da escrita; 2) erros decorrentes da transposição dos hábitos de fala para a escrita. Estes últimos, subdivididos em: i) erros decorrentes da interferência de regras fonológicas categóricas no dialeto estudado; ii) erros decorrentes da interferência de regras fonológicas variáveis graduais; e iii) erros decorrentes da interferência de regras fonológicas descontínuas.

In this essay, I endeavour to broaden the concept of literature by introducing five children’s literary works. Primarily, literary scholars have concentrated their studies on literature written by adults, regarding children as readers rather than writers. I believe that such a concept fails to cover the diversity of the literary field and therefore needs to change. Approaching writing and reading from a sociocultural point of view, and reading children’s stories from a narratological perspective, I intend to show that a new concept of literature is not only possible but inevitable. Due to the dialectic relationship between sender and receiver, literary and linguistic conventions and deviations, the definition of literature is renegotiated continuously. The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu emphasized the impact of the academy by illustrating that scholars are maintaining literary norms when putting titles on reading lists and acknowledging certain authorships. Writing this essay is thus a pledge of change. Adult research of children’s literary work encompasses a wide range of implicit age-related power issues (aetonormativity), according to the Swedish literary scholar, Maria Nikolajeva. In this essay, I show an insufficiency of some of these adult literary concepts when applied to children’s writing. I conclude that a partly new terminology, based on children’s writing, needs to co-exist with the older set of concepts. I also emphasize the need for further literary studies on children’s writing to question, criticize and complete mine, and to acknowledge the variety of literary aspects in children’s writing.
