Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand which textual skills children appropriate
in interactive situations with science communication texts. For this, oral and written
texts were analyzed where children expressed their understanding about a scientific
concept. The theoretical and methodological perspective of the analysis draws on the
Bakhtin’s conceptions of verbal interaction and in the micro genetic analysis. Scenes of
work from science classes were recorded. The participants were 9-10 years-old children
who attended the 4th year of a public elementary school in Belo Horizonte. The analysis
of both the episodes and the texts produced by the children showed that the interaction
with science communication texts provided to children starting to read an opportunity
to appropriate textual skills reflected on the speech and writing during a science class
to be closer to the knowledge produced from science communication texts. However,
it was observed that such process does not occur spontaneously, since it is necessary
that the educational context provides support to work with the language, instead of
only talking about it. Therefore, science communication texts may enable to express
the knowledge, the appropriation of strategies and textual skills along with the ability of
using an explanatory language.
