Alfabetização e letramento digital: o impacto da tecnologia no desenvolvimento da leitura e escrita em crianças e adolescentes.

Abstract

This work aims to examine the impact of digital technologies on the development of reading and writing skills in children and adolescents, highlighting literacy and digital literacy as essential competencies for holistic education in the contemporary world. In light of the growing presence of technology in education, the study seeks to understand how digital tools influence learning, as well as the challenges faced by educators when incorporating these resources and effective pedagogical practices to promote reading and writing in digital environments. With a bibliographic approach, the theoretical framework explores the role of technologies in the educational context, the structural and training difficulties that teachers encounter, and the innovative methodologies that facilitate student engagement. This research is based on the studies of Xavier (2011), Temóteo (2020), and Souza (2024), emphasizing that although there are many challenges, digital literacy is a reality, where it is necessary to align pedagogical strategies with contemporary demands. The research aims to contribute to the understanding of teaching practices adapted to the digital age, providing a theoretical foundation for inclusive pedagogical practices that develop critical thinking and student autonomy in the digital context.
