This article aims to analyze the implementation of children’s literacy proposals at the right age, as recommended by PNAIC, in the view of literacy teachers and considering the reality of a municipality located in the northeastern region of the country. The study discusses the main concepts related to literacy and advanced literacy, in addition to presenting PNAIC and its practices in the municipality studied. From the methodological point of view, it is an exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, using as a data collection procedure a case study that included the observation technique and research with twenty (20) literacy teachers.
