Emilia Ferreiro, together of other Argentines in exile (she works in
Mexico) has done very important Piagetian research on literacy
development in various languages and parts of the world. Teachers all
over Latin America revere her- she spoke once to 16000 teachers in a
soccer stadium in Puerto Alegra Brazil. A book of hers, Literacy Before
Schooling, includes much of her early work. Recently parallel studies
were done in Mexico, Italy and Brasil on children's rewriting of the
Little Red Ridinghood story. She has made psychogenesis part of many
teacher's vocabulary.
