This research aimed to analyze the statements found in videos published on the
YouTube platform that present the theme of reading and writing in early childhood
education. Specifically, it is intended to identify in the speeches of the
interlocutors to whom the verbal contents are intended; point out the most and
least viewed videos, pointing out their contents and possible social
repercussions, either at school or in the community in general and reflect on the
possible understandings in relation to writing based on the statements. The
theoretical assumptions of the study are based on the ideas of Vygotsky (1931,
1995/2000, 2021); Leontiev (2018), Luria (2018) and authors who approach the
theme from the Historical-Cultural Theory-THC, such as Mukhina (1995) and
Mello (1999, 2005, 2007,2010, 2012, 2015, 2021), that bring discussions about
the complex process of acquisition of writing by the child. From a methodological
point of view, this is an exploratory research based on the analysis of the
statements found in the videos published on the YouTube platform. The videos
considered suitable for this study followed the following criteria: being Brazilian,
explanatory and addressing reading and writing in early childhood education
directly or indirectly. Through the analyses, it was verified that the videos do not
have any restrictions, that is, anyone can watch and replicate, their contents are
intended for teachers, parents and children, focusing on reading and writing in
early childhood education . As for the videos with a growing number of views,
they are not presented by teachers or any other education professional,
unfortunately the interlocutors are health professionals, such as: physiotherapist,
neuropsychopedagogue and psychopedagogue. On the other hand, the videos
that deal with the theory of reading and writing have few views. In view of this, it
is necessary to understand reading and writing, beyond its mechanical aspects,
as a complex cultural element, being a fundamental instrument for human
development.
