TEBEROSKY, Ana  and  SEPULVEDA, Angélica. Lists in early learning to write. Zona prox. [online]. 2017, n.26, pp.152-178. ISSN 2145-9444.  https://doi.org/10.14482/zp.26.10221.

The process of making lists has given rise to reflections in a range of disciplines, from history and archaeology to psychology, linguistics and anthropology. This article reports a number of these contributions, and describes the value of lists as a linguistic process for planning, accuracy and conceptual analysis, specifically related to writing and language learning. It presents examples of lists written by children in preschool and elementary school, from an extensive corpus of children's writing. The activity of making lists is a method of helping students both in their earliest writing assignments and in later text analysis and production. Teachers using these procedures boost not only the lexical learning of lists, but also the cognitive operations for categorizing, planning and classifying that they involve.

Keywords : writing; lists; literacy; language learning.
