This article is part of the doctoral research in Education and discusses about the appropriation of the written language process by children in the Early Childhood Education focusing the theoretical and methodological foundations necessary for understanding of the formation and development children 4 to 6 years old’s conceptual thinking from the perspective of the Cultural-Historical Theory. The activities mediated conducted with children is necessary in the formation and development of Higher Psychological Functions process, specifically conceptual thinking. It occurs, firstly, in the relationship with the social plan (interpsychic) and then, in the psychological plan (intrapsychic), transforming internally the children’s psyche in a dialectical process of appropriation and objectification characterized by communication that occurs between adult and child. In the Cultural-Historical Theory the appropriation of the written language by children is a complex process and it doesn’t occurs of the natural neither linear way. Starting deep studies about the pré-history of the written, Vigotsky say that it cannot be understood as a variable of the individual knowledge, but, as a cultural-historical construction. Therefore, in this perspective the literacy in the school became a concrete political act and determinative for the children life; for the insertion them in the society and the future development them as active citizen, conscious of them role in the transformation of the society.
