Writing with the ink of the heart

Strengthening textual production and reading comprehension, assuming technology as a competence is a real challenge. Day by day we see our youth and children immersed in the cyber world, it is worrying to see how self-absorbed the new generations are, there is less and less dialogue and greater difficulty in finding the right words to what they want to express and thus externalize what they feel and what they think. Contributions of experts such as Jossete Jolibert, Emilia Ferreiro and Ana Teberosky allow refining this context, in the same way we deepen in processes that strengthen the ability to listen following instructions, fine motor skills also play an important role in this process; all this added to 23 years of experience as a teacher allows sharing a pedagogical strategy using the technique of origami and conventional letter writing with children from 6 to 8 years old. Paradoxically, by rescuing a forgotten tradition, it is interesting to see how students strengthen textual production based on their own experiences.
