        Abstract

        In this paper, we intend to analyze the literacy practices underlying the didactic activities presented in educational software “A point changes a tale”. The activity in which we focus the analysis aims to show how the literacies practices relate to the concepts of textual genres so that students learn the various aspects inherent to them, including the interactional ones. We also address issues related to the use of learning objects in the classroom context, using Kleiman (2008), Street (2000) and Ribeiro (2013) as main theoretical contribution. This qualitative research is bibliographical. The results showed that the analyzed learning object has the potential to develop students’ literacies, since it works on several aspects related to reading and textual genres in a virtual context of learning.
