This research had been introduced and authorized by the school board of both schools. Some teachers were invited to participate in the project, they were interviewed and had their class observed. The sample was compounded by four teachers from the public school and one from the private one, all of them teaching in the first grade of Fundamental level. The interviews were individual with open questions, so the teachers could feel free to answer without any interruptions by the interviewer. The observations were made twice a week through the analysis of the methodologies used in class and the relation with the PPP of each school. They revealed the coherences and incoherences of the work in literacy teaching, and how much these practices are or not lined with the pedagogical propose of the PPP from each school.
