The research, developed through a documentary analysis, aims to investigate the main differences between these proposals for the continuing education of literacy teachers. The analysis centers on official documents that regulate both the PNAIC and the Reading and Writing Program, accessed through the official websites of each program and research conducted on the Reading and Writing Program. The study identified the two proposals’ principles and how they are implemented. The results allowed the analysis of the two programs according to three fundamental axis’s for the continuing education of literacy teachers: the proposed forming model; the central figure of the formative network; and the organization of pedagogical work with the mother tongue. This research provides evidence for the comprehension of the advances, continuities and setbacks in the current trends of policies for the continuing education of literacy teachers in Brazil.}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Tassoni, Elvira Cristina Martins and Reis, Camila Mattos dos}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={58} }
