ABSTRACT
In this article, we focus on the recent revitalization, in the field of literacy, of the phonic method and seek to analytically elucidate the foundations of the method proposal, made public as “evidence-based”. Settled under the historical and dialectical materialism, we explicit the project of society for which a teaching methodology based on modern science reappears as the one that more adequately meets the precepts of productivism, depriving the field of literacy of the necessary teacher and student training through the most elaborated knowledge by humanity. Finally, we propose that the course of the initial years of schooling should also be a space for choices and elaborations by the collective of teachers based on the assumption of a political position, which is linked to the two possible social visions of the world at this historical moment, one allied to the maintenance of current social relations and the other to their transformation.
