THE CHALLENGE OF POST-PANDEMIC LITERACY: INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES AND LEARNING RECOVERY

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented educational crisis, deeply affecting the literacy process of school-aged children. School closures, the abrupt shift to remote learning, and digital exclusion exacerbated historical inequalities and compromised the development of basic reading and writing skills. This article analyzes the main impacts of the pandemic on literacy, discusses the challenges faced by students and teachers, and presents innovative pedagogical strategies for learning recovery. Through a critical and contextualized approach, successful experiences, emerging public policies, and educational practices are explored, pointing to possible paths to ensure the full right to literacy. It concludes that overcoming the effects of the pandemic requires coordinated actions, qualified teacher training, family involvement, and sustainable educational policies.
