The present study aims at the general analysis of the pedagogical hospital monitoring carried out in the oncology sector of a public hospital in Recife with regard to children in the literacy process. The specific objectives are to verify the knowledge of parents and teachers of oncology about the laws that ensure the continuity of the teaching-learning process in the hospital environment; analyze whether and how the relationship between the school and how oncology teachers occur in the children's literacy process; investigate the actions of the educator in hospital care in the oncology sector. We conducted research with a qualitative approach, using data collection, decoding and semi-structured changes as tools. Through the study, it was possible to verify that the access to hospital pedagogy offers a child and adolescent in a situation of hospitalization, not only the continuity of the schooling process, but offers a perspective for the future, I contributed to a cure so desired, for the continuation of life projects. We emphasize the need to develop new research aimed at contributing to the continuity of the teaching-learning process of children undergoing treatment, especially those who are in the process of literacy.
