CHILD WRITER
According to Emilia Ferreiro (1988), students who are acquiring writing development skills go through a constructive process that will allow them to appropriate this skill and subsequently master it.
The author mentions the duality that exists between the conceptualization of the oral and the written process. Therefore, Ferreiro (1988) describes two conditions within the varieties that can exist at the moment in which the child tries to transcribe a word from orality to writing: the first is the quantitative condition which refers to the number of spellings arranged by the learner to represent a word. And the second condition is the qualitative one which exposes the use of certain letters, their position and their combination that exists between them to form the mentioned word.
Then, Ferreiro declares that learner must be critical in order to select the words that he or she is about to produce so that he/she finds the meaning to it. Consequently, the author claims that writing is an act where the human being accepts the assignment of finding meaning and coherence to what is reflected in his writing. Therefore, we must bear in mind that writing must not only be an act in which the human being decodes graphic signs but also goes further, accepting the responsibility of searching for a sense of the text, transforming previous knowledge by recently learned knowledge.
Besides, Ferreiro (1988) manifests two important domain fields: interpretation of writing from phonological education and later a semantic education of the graphic word. Each field of dominion falls one on the other, reconstructing the knowledge previously acquired in such a way that it lends itself to a transformation of knowledge.
