ABSTRACT
The student is the subject of the process of learning to read and write as an act of knowing and creating. The fact that he or she needs the teachers help, as in any pedagogical situation, does not mean that the teachers help nullifies the student’s creativity and responsibility for constructing his or her own written language and for reading this language. … The teacher cannot put it together for the student; that is the student’s creative task. … Words should be laden with the meaning of the people’s existential experience, and not of the teacher’s experience.
