Abstract

This paper develops an appreciation of different types of media literacies and the relationship with the construction of perception and cognitive processes of audio readings by the acessibility. It especially depicts the training of these media literacies, from the first contacts of the young audience with the assistive technologies, to appreciate the audio readings as access tools to the information. The method used to conduct this research is the ethnography one, developed at IBC, RJ, during the month of November 2014, in order to list the sensory and cognitive apparatus necessary for the reading of the world and that requires the skill of multiple literacies. We list three types of simultaneous literacies used in assistive audio readings as communication: tactile, sound and digital literacies.

Keywords: cognition, tactile literacy, digital literacy, sound literacy, assistive audio readings.
