SUMMARY:
Much has been said in the media about the deplorable state of education in Brazil,
but we must pay attention to the advances made in recent years, as they could
contribute to a less unequal country. However, we do not want to state here that
the situation is perfect, or even that there is no need for progress, but it is possible
to point out that changes have occurred that have contributed to the construction
of a people more aware of their social role. Within this logic, cordel literature
emerges as a facilitating element in the literacy process in the initial grades of
basic education.
