Abstract

The present article was the result of the Master´s degree investigation: “Teaching tasks to favour the development of the skill to argue texts in sixth grade primary students”, whose purpose was to develop the written communication. To achieve this objective was necessary for students to speak, listen, read and write properly. This research was aimed at solving a present problem in primary education and extremely important for teachers, students and relatives, and it is the treatment to the written communication. Hence the need for a set of moral dilemmas to prepare families in developing communication skills that enable them to assist their children when making judgements, reasoning and arguments that allowed them to efficiently fulfill their  educational function, promoting a more effective communication among family – students  – school. Several methods from the theoretical to the empirical ones were applied, such as analysis – synthesis, induction – deduction, historical – logical and modelling; as well as interview, survey and class observation. The results achieved showed positive transformations on the students, teachers and parents, which led to a close link between the school and the family on the basis of proper communication.
