Many students learn to define the verb only as: "action, state or phenomenon of nature", we
understand that this makes it impossible to operate with the concept of the word consciously and
arbitrarily. In view of this problem, the objective of this study is to analyse the theoretical and
methodological orientations about the teaching and learning process of the verb concept
disseminated in textbooks for the 3rd, 4th and 5th years of elementary school. The methodology
consisted of documentary analysis which sought to verify the activities proposed in these books.
The results indicate that the teaching of grammar, especially the concept of verb, is limited to
decontextualized exercises that use sentences and loose words, instead of using textual genres.
We understand, therefore, that this teaching proposal present in the analysed materials limits the
learning of the language and the development of the thought.
Resumo: O artigo apresenta discussões sobre o ensino da gramática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Realiza-se um estudo bibliográfico, com base na Teoria Histórico-Cultural, com a finalidade de expor sobre a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento da linguagem escrita. Busca-se discorrer sobre as pesquisas de linguistas brasileiros, nas quais demonstram questões metodológicas sobre o ensino da gramática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Sendo a gramática um conteúdo para compreender a língua, seu ensino possibilita a aprendizagem dos conhecimentos teóricos que se aplicam na escrita e permite a conscientização daquilo que se fala. Conclui-se que o ensino da gramática deve ser realizado de forma contextualizada, de modo que os conteúdos sejam sistematizados por meio de diálogos e gêneros textuais que circulam nas práticas sociais.
